PREFACE. 


He  that  writes, 
Or  makes  a  feast,  more  certainly  invites 
His  judges  than  his  friends;  there's  not  a  guest 
But  will  find  something  wanting  or  ill  drest. 

Sir  R.  Howard. 

The  necessity  of  a  volume  like  the  present  to  visitors  of  New 
York,  has  been  of  serious  importance.  Strangers  to  our  Metropolis 
are  seldom  duly  impressed  with  its  true  magnificence,  immense 
area  and  variety  of  wonders,  for  want  of  proper  directions.  Citi- 
zens, justly  proud  of  their  monuments  to  ambition  and  enterprise — in 
public  and  private  buildings,  parks,  and  the  vast  sources  of  intel- 
lectual and  social  enjoyment  extended  to  visitors — heretofore  have 
been  unable  to  present  a  complete  and  authentic  guide  worthy 
their  city  and  strangers'  demands. 

For  non-residents  this  work  will  be  found  invaluable.  Special 
attention  has  been  paid  to  details  and  objects  of  interest.  Poetical 
quotations  and  gems  of  wit  are  introduced  to  entertain  and  please 
the  reader. 

We  refer  to  the  Index,  as  showing  the  utility  of  our  publication ; 
it  will  be  found  to  contain  a  vast  amount  of  information,  which 
must  be  of  great  use  and  interest  to  every  body. 

Hoping  to  please,  aiming  to  instruct,  desirous  of  presenting 
strangers  and  citizens  with  a  guide  worthy  our  Metropolis,  and 
exhibit  our  city  in  its  true  grandeur  to  historians  and  tourists, 
this  volume  is  most  respectfully 

Dedicated,  to  its  Readers.

BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  NEW  YORK  CITY. 

Here  laden  carts  with  thundering  wagons  meet. 
Wheels  clash  with  wheels  and  crowd  the  street. — Gay. 

Manhattan  Island,  the  present  site  of  Xew  York  City,  is  14 
miles  in  length,  l£  wide,  and  contains  1-4,000  acres,  or  23  square 
miles.  It  was  discovered  in  the  year  of  our  Lord,  1609,  by  Mas- 
ter Henry  Hudson,  who  sailed  from  Holland  in  a  vessel  (the  Half- 
Moon)  to  seek  a  north-west  passage  to  China.  In  the  year  1615, 
Oloffe  Yan  Kortlandt  purchased  from  the  Indians  the  entire  island 
for  60  guilders  ($24),  and  the  first  actual  settlement  was  commen- 
ced, consisting  of  four  houses.  In  1648  the  city  was  laid  out  in 
streets,  and  contained  120  houses  and  1000  inhabitants.  In  1725 
the  first  newspaper  (the  Xew  York  Gazette)  commenced  its  exis- 
tence. In  1825  the  gigantic  Erie  Canal  was  completed,  at  a  cost 
of  about  $7,000,000.  In  1835  the  great  fire  took  place,  and  de- 
stroyed in  one  night  more  than  600  buildings  and  $20,000,000  of 
property.  In  1842  the  vast  work  of  bringing  the  water  of  the 
Croton  River  was  completed,  after  17  years  of  labor,  at  an  expense 
of  $12,000,000.  The  distance  from  Croton  to  Xew  York  is  50 
miles.  The  average  consumption  of  water  is  30.000,000  gallons 
daily.  In  1845  property  was  destroyed- by  fire  to  the  amount  of 
about  $7,000,000.  In  1850  there  were  37,500  buildings,  and 
550,000  inhabitants.  In  the  returns  of  the  census  for  1855  we 
had  nearly  700,000  inhabitants,  which  at  the  same  rate  of  increase 
will  be  in  1870,  1,000,000.  A  more  correct  idea  of  the  population 
of  the  u  Metropolitan  City"  can  be  drawn  from  the  fact  that  it  is 
the  third  city  in  the  world,  three  times  larger  than  the  united  popu- 
lation of  Boston,  Cambridge,  Roxbury,  South  Boston  and  Charles- 
town.  It  also  contains  one  fortieth  part  of  the  entire  population 
of  the  United  States.  The  amount  of  assessed  property  is  about 
$500,000,000,  giving  an  annual  revenue  of  nearly  $6,000,000  for 
city  government.  Broadway  is  14  miles  long;  there  are  over  300 
miles  of  paved  streets,  and  20,000  gas-lamps,  costing  annually 
over  $400,000  to  light.  New  York  presents  1,300  different  busi- 
ness pursuits,  represented  by  21,500  business  houses;  giving 
employment  to  over  250,000  persons.  It  has  57  banks  with  a 
gross  capital  of  $67,647,769.  Also  20  savings  banks  with  about 
$25,000,000  on  deposit,  and  a  vast  number  of  private  banking 
houses,  engaging  several  millions  of  capital.  The  imports  are 
about  $150,000,000— the  exports,  $50,000,000,  and  the  receipts  of 
gold  from  California  this  year  will  amount  to  nearly  $100,000,000. 


8  POPULATION  OF  THE  CITY. 

New  Yorkers  are  the  first  in  every  magnificent  enterprise.  Their 
commerce  floats  in  every  portion  of  the  globe,  and,  to  properly 
estimate  their  unprecedented  prosperity,  it  is  but  necessary  to 
pass  a  reflection  as  to  New  York  now  and  New  York  200  years  ago. 

With  this  brief  sketch  of  New  York  City  I  close,  referring  all 
visitors  to  this  volume,  as  the  source  of  any  and  every  information, 
desirous  to  make  a  visit  to  "  The  Metropolis  of  the  Western  World" 
one  of  pleasure  or  profit.        t  G-.  Danielson  Carroll. 

But  words  are  things ;  and  a  small  drop  of  ink 

Falling  like  dew  upon  a  thought,  produces 

That  which  makes  thousands,  perhaps  millions,  think. 

Byron's  Don  Juan. 


POPULATION  AT  VARIOUS  PERIODS. 

According  to  the  State  Census  of  1855 — prepared  by  Dr.  Frank 
lin  B.  Hough,  of  Albany,  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of 
State — Manhattan  Island,  comprising  the  city  and  county  of  New 
York,  in  1628  contained  but  270  souls,  all  told ;  in  1645,  the 
Manhattan  settlement  contained  scarcely  one  hundred  men.  beside 
traders ;  and  even  in  1647  there  were  estimated  to  be  but  about 
250,  or  at  most  300  men,  able  to  bear  arms.  Under  the  adminis- 
tration of  Governor  Stuyvesant,  the  colony  began  to  flourish,  as  a 
survey  made  by  Captain  de  Kbninck,  in  1656,  showed  that  New 
Amsterdam  contained  120  houses  and  1,000  souls.  From  the 
last-named  period,  the  population  of  the  city  and  county  increased 
as  follows : 


1656    1,000 

16T3    2,500 

1696    4,302 

1731    8,628 

1756    10,381 

1773    21,876 


1786    23,614  I  1S30    202,569

1S25    166,0S9  1  1855    629,S10 


Of  the  629,810  inhabitants  of  the  city  in  1855,  there  were 
297,870  white  males,  and  320,194  white  females;  5,116  colored 
males,  and  6,724  colored  females.  Of  the  colored  persons,  10,807 
were  not  liable  to  taxation.  The  civil  condition  of  our  popula- 
tion is  set  down  as  follows: — single  persons,  383,434;  married, 
217,731;  widowers,  5,894;  widows,  22,845.  The  number  of 
legal  voters  was  estimated  to  be  88,877;  of  whom  46,173  were 
native,  and  42,704  naturalized.  The  entire  number  of  aliens  in 
the  city  was  set  down  at  232,678. 


All  that  glisters  is  not  gold, 

Often  have  you  heard  that  told.— Shakspeare. 

Xote. — It  will  be  greatly  to  the  advantage  of  strangers  visiting 
our  city  to  bear  in  mind  the  above  quotation ;  and  its  particular 
applicability  in  making  purchases;  for  in  New  York  every 
branch  of  trade  has  its  representatives,  whose  business  is  done  > 
on  the  plan  of  the  mock  auctioneer.  Such  places  are  well 
known  and  avoided  by  the  residents  of  the  city.  In  furnishing 
a  directory  for  strangers  to  our  Metropolis,  vje  deem  it  incom- 
plete without  noticing  the  leading  houses  in  every  commercial 
pursuit,  as  a  safe  and  necessitous  measure,  to  save  recipients 
annoyances  and  loss  of  money.  By  taking  this  directory  as 
your  guide,  which  has  been  furnished  at  an  immense  labor  and 
cost,  you  need  not  err.  There  are  many  advantages  offered  by 
these  houses,  which  cannot  be  found  elsewhere  in  the  city ;  a 
few  of  which  we  enumerate. 

1st.  They  import  or  manufacture  their  own  goods,  saving  a  jobber's 
profit  to  the  purchaser. 

2d.  They  are  exclusively  in  the  line  of  goods  under  which  we 
notice  them. 

3d.  The  amount  of  their  sales  is  so  large,  they  are  enabled  to  sell 

at  very  small  profits. 
4th.  They  are  houses  of  one  price,  each  and  all  customers  paying 

the  same  for  articles  purchased. 

5  th.  A  great  advantage  and  immense  satisfaction  is.  the  large  and 
magnificent  stocks  offered  for  your  inspection.  Every  taste, 
however  fastidious,  or  whatever  the  extent  of  the  purse,  can  be 
suited. 

Whatever  article  of  merchandise  you  require,  look  at  the  index, 
and  you  will  find  the  directions  to  responsible  houses.

10  GOLDEN"  INKLINGS  FOR  LOVERS  OF  THE  BEAUTIFUL. 


CITY  SCENES. 

""Without  a  smile  from  partial  beauty  won, 
Oh,  what  were  man? — a  world  without  a  sun/'

selected  those  which  no  stranger  should  omit  seeing,  while  others 
worthy  of  attention,  will  be  found  interspersed  throughout  the 
volume.  The  variety  is  so  numerous,  a  mere  mention  of  the  par- 
ticular objects  of  interest  is  made,  while  the  more  definite  informa-

Music,  Galleries  of  Paintings,  European  Steamers,  Reservoirs, 
Theatres,  Hotels  (first  in  the  world),  various  splendid  architectural 
buildings  devoted  to  the  mercantile  interests.  Stores,  whose  daz- 
zling elegance  and  display  of  costly  wares  excel  the  extravagan- 
cies and  liberality  for  which  the  Parisian  Bazaars  are  noted. 
Fifth  avenue,  the  most  sumptuous  street  of  private  residences  on 
either  continent,  various  parks,  Broadway,  the  pride  of  New 
Yorkers,  etc.  From  the  Battery  can  be  had  magnificent  views  of 
the  Harbor,  Governor's  and  Staten  Islands,  Brooklyn  and  Jersey

immediately  connected  with  our  Metropolis,  of  which  the  most 
notable  are  High  Bridge,' a  stupendous  structure,  "Ward,  Governor's 
and  Biackweirs  Islands,  Elysian  Fields,  Hoboken;  Navy- Yard, 
Brooklyn ;  Greenwood  Cemetery,  the  most  beautiful  "  last  homey 
on  this  continent,  celebrated  as  such  for  its  romantic  loveliness, 
and  costly,  magnificent  monuments  and  tombs. 

TO  INVALIDS. 

Invalids  visiting  the  city  for  medical  treatment  or  advice,  will 
here  find  the  address  of  several  physicians  who  stand  at  the  head 
of  their  profession,  and  we  deem  the  advice,  call  upon  some  one  of 
our  list,  seriously  worthy  the  afflicted's  attention. 

We  also  give  the  address  of  celebrated  oculists  and  aurists,  arti- 
ficial arms,  legs  and  eye  depots,  and  the  most  notable  manufac- 
turers of  invalids'  chairs  and  carriages.

with  unprecedented  liberality  and  effect. 
The  various  minstrel  bands  need  no  comment — they  are  of  world 
renown.    Whoe'er  visits  them  will  see

,rTis  pleasant,  through  the  loopholes  of  retreat, 
To  pqep  at  such  a  world;  to  see  the  stir 
Of  the  great  Babel,  and  not  feel  the  crowd ; 
To  hear  the  roar  she  sends  through  all  her  gates, 
At  a  safe  distance,  where  the  dying  sound 
Falls  a  soft  murmur  on  the  uninjured  ear. — Cowper.

extravagant.  one  day  asked  his  father  for  a  hundred  pounds.  "Zounds," 
sir,"  said  Celley,  41  catl't  you  live  upon  your  salary  ?  When  I  was  your  age.  I 
never  spent  a  farthing  of  my  father's  money."  44  But  you  have  spent  a 
great  deal  of  my  father's,"  replied  Theophilus.  This  retort  had  the  desired 
effect.

Miss  Susan  Nipper,  who  lives  in  a  snug  tenement  alone,  was  quite  flus- 
trated  the  other  morning  by  an  early  call  from  a  bachelor  neighbor.  "  What 
do  you  come  hereafter?1'  said  she.  "I  came  for  a  match,"  says  he  in  the 
meekest  manner  possible.  "  Why  don't  you  make  a  match  ?"  says  she,  u  I 
know  what  you're  come  for,"  cried  the  apparently  exasperated  virgin,  as  she 
backed  him  into  a  corner,  "  you're  come  here  to  hug  and  kiss  me  almost  to 
death  !  But  you  shan't,  without  you're  the  strongest,  and  Lord  knows  you 
are !"

Cultivated  Women. — Sheridan  said,  beautifully.  "  Women  govern  us  ; 
let  us  render  them  perfect.  The  more  they  are  enlightened,  so  much  the 
more  shall  we  be.  On  the  cultivation  of  the  mind  of  women  depends  the 
wisdom  of  men.    It  is  by  women  that  nature  writes  on  the  hearts  of  men." 

Men' are  like  weathercocks,  which  are  never  constant  or  fixed  but  when 
they  are  worn-out  or  rusty. 

True  beauty  is  but  virtue  made  visible  in  outward  grace.  Beauty  and 
vice  are  disjoined  by  nature  herself. 

It  is  with  life  as  with  coffee;  ho  who  drinks  it  pure  must  not  drain  it  to 
the  dregs. 

Far  fetched  and  dear  bought,  is  a  bargain  for  the  ladies.

Valuable  Presents. — Some  one  speaking  of  new-years'  presents  says,  • 
"The  best  thing  to  give  to  your  enemy  If  forgiveness ;  to  your  opponent, 
tolerance;  to  a  friend,  your  heart;  to  your  children,  a  good  example;  to 
your  father,  deference ;  to  your  mother,  love;  to  yourself,  respect;  to  all 
men,  charity  ;  to  God,  obedience." 

The  Past  and  Present. — "New  England,"  says  Cotton  Mather  in  1718, 
"is  now  so  far  improved  as  to  have  the  best  part  of  two  hundred  meeting- 
houses."  What  would  he  say  now  (1859)  to  find,  as  they  are,  ovor  6,000  ?

Dissolute  men,  like  unskillful  horsemen,  who  open  a  gate  on  the  wrong 
side,  may,  by  the  virtue  of  their  office,  open  heaven  for  others,  and  shut  them-

Much  misconstruction  and  bitterness  are  spared  to  him  who  thinks  natu- 
rally upon  what  he  owes  to  others,  rather  than  what  ho  ought  to  expect  from 
them. — Madame  Guizot. 

To  acknowledge  our  faults  when  we  are  blamed,  is  modesty ;  to  discover 
them  to  one's  friends,  in  ingenuousness,  is  confidence;  but  to  preach  them 
to  all  the  world,  if  one  does  not  take  care,  is  pride. — Confucius.

Adversity  overcome  is  the  brightest  glory,  and  willingly  undergone,  the 
greatest  virtue.    Sufferings  are  but  the  trials  of  gallant  spirits. 

A  lively  Hibernian  exclaimed,  at  a  party  where  Theodore  Hook  shone  as 
the  evening  star,  "  Och,  Master  Theodore,  but  you're  the  hook  that  nobody 
can  bate.'''' 

While  an  officer  was  bowing,  a  cannon  ball  passed  over  his  head  and  de- 
capitated a  soldier  who  stood  behind  him.    ''You  see,"  said  the  officer  to 
those  near  him,  "that  a  man  never  loses  any  thing  by  politeness."

He,  patient,  showed  us  the  wise  course  to  steer, 

A  candid  censor,  and  a  friend  sincere ; 

He  taught  us  how  to  live  ;  and  (oh  1  too  high 

The  price  of  knowledge)  taught  us  how  to  die. — Tick-ell.

A  man  getting  out  of  an  omnibus  a  few  days  ago,  made  use  of  two  rows 
of  knees  as  banfsters  to  steady  himself,  at  which  the  ladies  took  offence,  and 
one  of  them  cried  aloud — 

"  A  perfect  savage  !  " 

"True,"  said  a  wag  inside,  "he  belongs  to  the  Paw-Knee  tribe." 

Vanity  is  the  great  commanding  passion.  It  is  this  that  produces  the 
most  grand  and  heroic  deeds,  or  impels  to  the  most  dreadful  mines.  Save 
mo  but  from  this  passion,  and  I  can  defy  the  others.  They  are  mere  urchin*, 
but  this  is  a  giant. 

A  Simile. — Day  begins  in  darkness,  grows  bright,  strong  and  glorious,

attains  to  the  meridian  of  manhood,  and  second  childhood  ends  his  day

Anecdote  of  Johnson. — A  man  whom  Dr.  Johnson  once  reproved  for 
following  a  useless  and  demoralizing  business,  said,  in  excuse  : 
"You  know,  doctor,  that  I  must  live." 

The  brave  old  hater  of  every  thing  that  was  mean  and  hateful,  coolly 
replied,  "  I  do  not  see  any  necessity  for  that."

The  news  !— there  scarcely  is  a  word,  I'll  venture  here  to  say, 
That  o'er  men's  thoughts  and  fancies  holds  more  universal  sway: 
The  old,  the  young,  the  grave,  the  gay,  the  wealthy  and  the  poor. 
All  wish,  on  each  succeeding  day,  to  hear  it  o'er  and  o'er, 
Though  on  each  day  'tis  always  changed  from  what  it  was  before.

*No  tourist  should  consider  that  he  has  seen  New  York  until  ho  has  visited 
either  the  Herald,  Tribune  or  Times  Presses,  exhibiting  the  greatest  per- 
fection in  mechanism  ever  produced.  They  are  a  beautiful  illustratimi 
of  the  age  we  live  in.  There  are  only  four  of  these  presses  in  the  world, 
one  each  belonging  to  the  Tribune,  Times,  Herald  and  the  London  Times, 
built  for  them  by  the  inventor,  R  Hoe,  of  our  city.  To  lovers  of  machin- 
jery  it  will  be  a  great  treat;  to  curiosity  seekers  we  know  of  no  greater 
j  curiosity  than  these  presses.  They  were  built  for  the  Times,  Herald  and 
Tribune,  (all  former  presses  being  inadequate  for  the  demands  upon  these 
establishments,)  at  a  cost  of  $30,000  each,  are  run  by  40-horse  power  en- 
'gines,  require  16  men  and  boys  to  feed  them,  striking  off  the  same  instant 
j  10  impressions,  at  the  rate  of  15,000  copies  of  their  papers  per  hour.  The 
j  capital  employed  by  these  establishments  is  $250,000  each.  A  visit  to  these 
!  establishments  will  convince  all  that  there  is  but  one  Horace  Greeley,  one 
!  James  G.  Bennett  and  one  Henry  Raymond,  the  Napoleons  of  the  Press.

Long,  long  be  my  heart  with  such  memories  filled !

But  the  scent  of  the  roses  will  hang  round  it  still. — Moore.

Two  men.  in  dispute,  reflected  upon  each  others  veracity.  One  of  them 
replied  "that  he  was  never  whipped  but  once  by  his  lather,  and  that  was 
for  telling  the  truth."  "I  believe,  then,1'  retorted  the  other,  '"the  truth 
was  whipped  out  of  you,  for  you  have  never  spoken  it  since." 

A  noble  saying  is  recorded  of  a  member  of  the  British  House  of  Commons, 
who,  by  his  own  industry  and  perseverance  had  won  his  way  to  that  high 
position.  A  proud  scion  of  the  aristocracy  one  day  taunted  him  with  his 
humble  origin,  saying,  u  I  remember  when  you  blacked  my  father's  boots." 
""Well,  sir,"  was  the  noble  response,  " did  j  not  do  it  icellf"1

A  quaker,  who  was  examined  "before  a  court,  offended  the  presiding  judge  by 
his  familiar  "  thee,1'  and  "  thou,11  and  "  friend.11  At  last  he  attempted  to  rebuke 

him,  by  sternly  asking,  "  Pray,  Mr.  ,  do  you  know  who  we  are,  and 

what  we  sit  here  for  ?"  "  Yea,  verily,  I  do,"  said  the  quaker ;  "  three  of  you 
for  about  two  dollars  a  day  each,  and  the  fat  one  on  the  fight  for  one  thou- 
sand dollars  a  year;  for  which  payment  thy  duty  ought  to  be  well  done.1' 

A  judge  and  a  joking  lawyer  were  conversing  about  the  doctrine  of  the 
transmigration  of  the  souls  of  men  into  animals.  ""Now,11  said  the  judge, 
"suppose  you  and  1  were  turned  into  a  horse  and  an  ass,  which  would  you 
prefei  to  be?" 

"The  ass,  to  be  sure,  replied  the  lawyer.  "  Why  ?  "  rejoined  the  judge. 
"Because,"  Avas  the  reply,  "I  have  heard  of  an  ass  being  a  judge,  but  of  a 
horse — never."

50  WHAT  TO  AVOID. 


WHAT  TO  AYOID. 

The  tricks  and  artifices  resorted  to,  by  the  sharpers  who  make 
cities  their  head-quarters,  are  innumerable.  We  give  the  leading 
ones,  and  a  few  words  of  advice,  which  we  deem  sufficient. 

Pickpockets — Abound  everywhere — at  depots,  hotels,  churches, 
in  the  omnibuses,  at  funerals  and  all  public  places.  In  crowds 
you  should  constantly  be  on  your  guard,  and  large  sums  of  money 
should  be  left  with  a  friend,  or  in  the  safe  at  the  hotel. 

Confidence  Men. — A  game  which  is  extensively^  practised,  and 
very  successfully,  is  that  of  noticing  a  stranger's  arrival,  and  the 
registration  of  his  name  at  the  hotel.  At  a  convenient  opportu- 
nity you  are  recognized  as  an  old  acquaintance.  This  is  his  intro- 
duction, and  he  disinterestedly  offers  to  show  you  the  lions  of  the 
city ;  which  offer^  if  accepted,  results  in  the  loss  of  your  money  by 
some  of  his  tricks.  ♦ 

Mock  Auctions. — Scarcely  a  person  of  any  degree  of  newspaper 
reading  but  what  has  read  of  parties  victimized  by  the  mock 
auctions;  and  yet  there  are  nearly  20  of  these  establishments, 
supporting  some  200  apologies  for  men.  Every  day  the  Police 
Report  tells  the  same  old  story,  and  hundreds  quietly  suffer  their 
loss,  ashamed  of  their  verdancy.  If  you  wish  to  avoid  paying  the 
price  of  a  gold  watch  for  a  brass  one,  be.vare  vf  the  red  flay  and 
the  auction  sign. 

Bogus  Ticket  Offices. — Thousands  are  grossly  imposed  upon  by 
the  bogus  ticket-offices.  They  have  their  runners  at  the  depots 
and  hotels.  They  are  well  dressed,  very  affable;  offering  their 
services  to  avoid  your  being  imposed  upon.  Under  no  circum- 
stances allow  a  stranger  to  conduct  you  to  a  ticket-office.  "We 
give  the  correct  offices  in  this  volume,  pages  11  and  12. 

Gamblers  of  New  York  are  elegantly  dressed,  of  most  affable 
and  pleasing  manners.  Beware  of  their  dens,  as  it  is  preposterous 
for  a  novice  to  attempt  to  excel  the  maker  of  a  game. 

Pocket-Book  Droppers. — A  trick  played  very  successfully.  You 
are  accosted  by  a  man  in  a  great  hurry,  holding  in  his  hand  an 
apparently  well-filled  pocket-book.  He  is  obliged  to  leave  the 
city  immediately,  and  will  transfer  to  you  the  pocket-book,  so  that 
you  can  get  the  reward  (which  he  is  sure  will  be  offered),  if  }rou 
will  pay  him  $25.  Should  you  invest,  you  will  find  the  pocket- 
book  well  filled  with  worthless  paper. 

Business  Chances. — YOung  men  of  small  means  should  beware 
of  the  splendid  business  chances  (partners  retiring  Ac.,  &c,)  ad- 
vertised ;  as  these  opportunities  to  make  fortunes  by  investing 
from  $250  to  $500,  are  impossibilities  and  gross  swindles. 

This  Volume  should  be  your  constant  companion.  Consult  it 
for  pleasure  or  business.

In  peace  there's  nothing  so  becomes  a  man 

As  modest  stillness  and  humility; 

But  when  the  blast  of  war  blow's  in  his  ears, 

Then  imitate  the  action  of  the  tiger. — Shakspeare.

WILLIAM  SELPHO, 
PATENT  ELASTIC  ANGLESEY  LEG  MANUFACTURER, 

516  Broadway,  New  York. 
The  Anglesey  Leg  has  now  been  before  the  public  twenty  years, 
and  is  worn  by  persons  in  every  state  in  the  Union,  some  walking 
ten  miles  and  upwards  daily — many  wearing  pairs,  and  one  per- 
son who  has  lost  both  knee-joints,  has  walked  four  miles  a  day  with 
these  limbs,  for  the  past  eight  years.  This  is  the  only  case  on 
record.  As  a  substitute  for  a  lost  limb,  the  Anglesey  Leg  is  light, 
strong,  and  always  reliable,  and  is  unrivalled  only  by  nature. 

Some  of  the  advantages  obtained  in  my  new  Patent,  is  the 
elastic  side  motion  of  the  ankle-joint,  which  imparts  a  peculiarly 
'grateful  and  life-like  feeling  to  the  wearer,  facilitating  the  walk 
and  closely  imitating  the  natural  limb.  W.  S.  offers  the  above, 
after  30  years'  experience  in  Europe  and  this  country,  as  superior 
to  any  Artificial  Leg  known. 

Also  Selpho's  Patent  Artificial  Hand — a  valuable  substitute  for 
a  lost  Hand,  which  is  so  arranged  that  the  wearer  can  open  and 
shut  it,  use  a  knife,  fork,  write,  &c.    For  further  information  call

As  tor  Library. — This  library  is  located  in  Lafayette  place,  near  Eighth 
street  and  Broadwav.  This  noble  institution  was  founded  bv  the  late  John 
Jacob  Astor,  who  left  a  fund  of  $400,000  for  that  purpose.  The  building  is 
erected  in  the  Moorish  style,  like  the  royal  palaces  of  Florence,  is  120  feet 
long  by  65  feet  wide,  presenting  a  very  imposing  appearance.  The  grand

building,  of  the  same  size  and  style  of  architecture,  making  a  frontage  of 
240  feet  on  Lafayette  place,  which  will  afford  shelving  for  100,000  volumes 
more. 

Woman. — A  quaint  writer  observes  that  at  seventeen^  with  reference  to

what  has  lie  ?    But  at  thirty,  in  despair,  where  in  he  t    Is  it  true,  ladies  ?

WINANT'S 
BILLIARD  TABLES, 

71  Gold  Street,  X.  Y. 

The  oldest  and  mo^t  extensive  manufactory-  in  America. 

Winant's  Patent  Excelsior  Spring  Billiard  Cushion,  Patented 
August  10th,  1858. 

The  best  Cushions  in  use,  and  only  real  improvement  of  late  in- 
vention. 

The  advantages  presented  by  Winant's  Patent  Compound  Spring 
Billiard  Cushions,  are:  1st.  The  cushion  is  the  lowest  one  extant, 
thus  enabling  the  player  to  strike  the  ball  with  a  horizontal  cue. 
2d.  It  is  the  most  lively  and  durable  cushion  in  the  world,  because 
of  the  insertion  in  the  rubber  of  a  flexible  metallic  spring,  there- 
by imparting  the  greatest  elasticity  possible  to  be  attained.  3d. 
In  consequence  of  its  lowness  and  flexibility,  the  ball  cannot  wedge 
and.  will  not  die  out  against  the  cushion,  nor  is  it  subjected  to  the 
false  motion  found  in  other  cushions.  4th.  The  cushion  is  suited 
alike  to  the  amateur  and  scientific  billiard-player,  and  is  the  only 
one  on  which  true  angles  can  be  made.  Warranted  free  from  all 
the  faults  found  in  other  billiard  cushions.  Patent  cushions  ap- 
plied to  old  tables  at  short  notice,  and  at  reasonable  rates.  Bil- 
liard tables  made  to  order  in  a  neat  and  elegant  style.  Every 
thing  in  the  line  furnished  at  ten  per  cent,  less  than  any  othor 
establishment  in  the  city. 

Note. — Mr.  Winant  icill  be  found  at  7iis  manufactory  ready  to

Bloomtngdale  Insane  Asylum. — This  institution  is  located  a  little  south 
of  Manhattanville,  between  115th  and  120th  streets.  The  grounds,  contain- 
ing about  forty  acres  of  land,  are  beautifully  laid  out,  and  ornamented  with 
shrubbery  and  flowers;  and  all  is  fitted  up  Id  a  manner  so  as  to  render  this 
a  pleasant  retreat  for  those  unfortunate  beings  for  whom  the  institution 
whs  designed.  Reached  by  Manhattanville  stages.  Broadway,  corner  82d 
street. 

Jealousy. — It  is  said  that  jealousy  is  love,  but  I  deny  it ;  for  though  jeal- 
ousy be  produced  by  love,  as  ashes  are  by  fire,  yet  jealousy  extinguishes 
love  as  ashes  smother  the  flame. 

The  Truth. — Shelton,  in  one  of  his  sermons,  says  : — "An  upright  is  always 
easier  than  a  stooping  posture,  because  it  is  more  natural,  and  one  part  is  ; 
better  supported  than  another ;  so  it  is  better  to  be  an  honest  man  than  a 
knave.    It  is  also  more  graceful." 

Judgment — Men  think,  and  reason,  and  judge  quite  different  in  any 
matter  relating  to  themselves,  from  what  they  do  in  case  of  others  where 
they  are  not  interested.  Hence  it  is  one  hears  people  exposing  follies  for 
which  they  themselves  are  eminent,  and  talking  with  great  severity  against 
particular  vices,  which,  if  all  the  world  be  not  mistaken,  they  themselves 
arc  notoriously  guilty  of. — Butler.

Fans. — It  is  a  matter  of  question  -whether  the  fan  came  direct  to  us  from 
the  east  during  the  Crusades,  in  the  reign  of  Richard  the  Second,  or  was 
imported  from  Italy  in  that  of  Henry  the  Eighth,  more  than  a  century  after- 
ward. At  any  rate,  it  is  not  until  the  time  of  Elizabeth  that  we  find  it 
popularly  used;  but  at  this  period  both  sexes  wore  it;  and  young  gentle- 
men,  who  would  have  thought  it  shockingly  effeminate  to  be  seen  in  a  coach, 
made  no  scruple  of  carrying  fans  and  feathers  in  their  hands,  which,  in  war, 
continues  our  authority,  "their  ancestors  wore  on  their  heads."  In  the 
"Book  of  Table  Talk"  (a  modern  work)  we  learn  that  men  in  the  south  of 
Italy  continue  to  use  them;  and  that  it  is  no  unusual  thing,  in  sultry 
weather,  to  see  a  captain  of  dragoons,  mustached  and  bearded  like  the  pard," 
fanning  himself  with  all  the  graces  and  dexterity  of  a  young  coquette. 

Sense. — The  reason  why  men  of  true  good  sense  envy  less  than  others  is, 
because  they  admire  themselves  with  less  hesitation  than  other  people  do; 
for.  though  they  do  not  show  this  to  others,  yet  the  solidity  of  their  think- 
ing gives  them  an  assurance  of  their  real  worth  which  men  of  weak  under- 
standings never  feel  within,  though  they  often  counterfeit  it. — Mandtrille. 

Fitz-Btbom  asked  a  friend  what  he  thought  of  his  "Ode  to  Sleep  "— "  You 
have  done  justice  to  the  subject,"  replied  the  latter.  "  It  is  impossible  to 
read  it  without  acknowledging  its  weight."

Justice,  when  equal  scale  she  holds,  is  blind — 
Nor  cruelty  nor  mercy  change  her  mind ; 
When  some  escape  for  that  which  others  die, 
Mercy  to  those,  to  these  is  cruelty. — Dunham.

Not  always  actions  show  the  man:  we  find 
Who  does  a  kindness  is  not  therefore  kind; 
Perhaps  prosperity  becalmed  his  breast; 
Perhaps  the  wind  j net  shifted  from  the  east ; 
Not  therefore  humble  he  who  seeks  retreat, 
Pride  guides  his  steps,  and  bids  him  shun  the  great. 
"Who  combats  bravely  is  not  therefore  brave, 
He  dreads  a  death-bed  like  the  meanest  slave. 
Who  reasons  wisely  is  not  therefore  wise ; 
His  force  in  reasoning,  not  in  acting,  lies. — Pope. 
Happiness  lies  in  the  taste,  and  not  in  the  things;  it  is  from  having  what 
we  desire  that  we  are  happy — not  from  having  what  others  think  desirable. 

Power. — We  have  more  power  than  will ;  and  it  is  often  by  way  of  excuse 
to  ourselves  that  we  fancy  things  impossible. 

Gardening  for  Ladies. — Make  up  your  beds  early  in  the  morning:  sew 
buttons  on  your  husband's  shirt;  do  not  rake  up  any  grievances;  protect 
the  young  and  tender  branches  of  your  family  ;  plant  a  smile  of  good  tem- 
per in  your  face,  and  carefully  root  out  all  angry  feelings,  and  expect  a  good 
crop  of  happiness.

The  City  Hall  — The  City  Hall  may  be  regarded  as  one  of  the  finest 
specimens  of  architectural  beauty  of  any  building  in  the  city,  ami,  with  the 
exception  of  the  Capitol  at  Washington,  second  to  none  in  the  country.  It 
stands  in  the  midst  of  a  beautiful  park  of  about  ten  acres,  and  shows  to 
great  advantage.  It  is  216  feet  long,  105  broad,  and  65  feet  high,  and  com- 
bines the  Ionic,  Corinthian,  and  Composite  orders  of  architecture,  rising  in 
regular  gradations.  The  front  and  ends,  from  the  basement,  are  built  of 
white  marble  from  Stockbridge,  Massachusetts;  the  rear  of  freestone  from 
New  York. 

This  building  contains  a  large  number  of  rooms  for  various  purposes.  In 
the  basement  is  the  commissioner  of  juries,  also  the  office  of  the  chief  of 
police,  the  sheriff's  jury,  &c.  On  the  first  floor  is  the  mayor's  oftice,  the 
county  clerk's,  city  library,  clerk  of  the  common  council,  &c.  Ascending  by 
a  win  ling  flight  of  stairs  to  the  second  story,  we  find  the  governors  room, 
52  by  20  feet.  This  is  principally  used  for  the  reception  of  distinguished 
visitors.  It  is  decorated  with  the  finest  portraits  of  the  presidents  of  theN 
United  States,  governors  of  the  state,  and  mayors  of  the  city,  together  with 
the  naval  and  military  heroes,  and  most  honored  statesmen  of  our  country.

POLITICAL  ECONOMY. 

"Were  we  all  working  men,  where  would  all  of  us  find  room? 
If  Ave  were  all  producers,  all  the  produce  how  consume? 
And  what  would  be  the  fate  of  art,  and  literature's  doom? 
If  some  must  consume  that  the  others  may  produce, 
For  enjoying  good  things  there's  a  capital  excuse, 
And  that's  the  way  how  I  should  like  to  make  myself  of  use. 
Some  landlords  and  fundholders  clearly  there  must  be, 
On  rent  and  on  dividends  subsisting  labor-free, 

And  a  mortgage  upon  industry  would  be  just  the  thing  for  me. — Punch.

Criticism. —There  is  a  well-known  fable  told  of  an  ancient  painter  who 
opened  a  picture  to  public  criticism,  requesting  that  every  person  who  ob- 
served a  fault  would  put  a  mark  upon  it  When  the  artist  came,  in  the 
evening,  to  take  his  painting  home,  he  found  it  one  mass  of  marks  of  disap- 
probation. Every  critic  found  in  it  something  to  condemn.  The  next  day, 
i  having  carefully  erased  the  marks,  the  painter  again  displayed  his  work  bf 
'  art,  requesting  that  every  beholder  who  noticed  a  beauty  would  put  a  mark 
=  upon  it.  At  evening,  he  found  the  canvas  was  covered  with  signs  of  appro- 
bation. Every  part  had  found  its  admirers  in  similar  touches  with  those 
'.  that  had,  only  the  day  previous,  been  condemned  by  the  critics.  Is  not  this 
■  fable  true  of  the  world  to-day  ?  Do  not  the  majority  of  those  who  criticise, 
;  either  to  praise  or  condemn,  follow,  each  one,  the  bias  of  their  own  taste, 
;  rather  than  any  just  standard  of  literature  or  art  ? 

!  Depend  on  Youkself. — Most  young  men  consider  it  a  great  misfortune 
to  be  born  poor,  or  not  to  have  capital  enough  to  establish  themselves  at  the 
outset  in  life  in  a  good  and  comfortable  business.  This  is  a  mistaken  notion. 
So  far  from  poverty  being  a  misfortune  to  them,  if  we  may  judge  from  what 
we  every  day  behold,  it  is  really  a  blessing;  the  chance  is  more  than  ten  to 
one  against  him  who  starts  with  a  fortune.

Columbia  College,  removed  from  College  place  and  Park  place  to  the 
Fourth  avenue,  corner  of  Fiftieth  street,  to  the  extensive  grounds  recently 
occupied  by  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  Asylum.  Columbia  College  was  chartered 
by  George  II.,  in  1754,  under  the  title  of  King's  College,  which  was  changed 
to  its  present  title  after  the.  Revolution.  Itcontains  an  excellent  library, 
is  well  endowed,  and  is  presided  over  with  great  ability  by  Charles  King. 
Some  of  the  leading  minds  in  our  country,  both  before  and  since  the  Revolu- 
tion, were  educated  within  the  walls  of  Columbia  College. 

Irish. — On  the  edge  of  a  small  river  in  the  county  of  Cavan,  Ireland,  there 
is  a  stone  with  the  following  strange  inscription,  no  -doubt  intended  for  the 
information  of  strangers  travelling "that  way  :  "  N.  B.  When  this  stone  is 
out  of  sight  it  is  not  safe  to  ford  tha  river."  But  this  is  surpassed  by  the 
famous  post  erected  some  years  since  by  the  surveyors  of  the  Kent  roads  in 
England  :  ,l  This  is  the  bridle-path  to  Feversham — if  you  can't  read  this,  you 
had  better  keep  the  main  road." 

Pr:de. — It  seems  that  Nature,  which  has  so  wisely  disposed  our  bodily 
organs  with  a  view  to  our  happiness,  has  also  bestowed  on  us  pride,  to  spare 
us  the  pain  of  being  aware  of  our  imperfections. 

Swift  remarks,  ''The  power  of  fortune  is  confessed  only  by  the  miser- 
able ;  for  the  happy  impute  all  their  success  to  prudence  and  merit. "

Ladies'  Shoes. — Wm.  II.  .Tellers  calls  the  special  attention  otladies 
visiting  Neio  York,  to  his  stock  of  French  Shoes,  Gaiters,  Slippers, 
Ties,  Buskins,  Toilet  Slippers,  etc.,  which  for  superior  workman- 
ship, beaut}^  of  finish,  shape  and  neatness,  he  claims  the  superiority 
over  an}'  importer  or  manufacturer,  in  the  United  States. 

Prizes  were  awarded  me  for  the  best  Shoes,  by  the  London 
Exhibition,  A.  d.  1851,  also  at  the  Crystal  Palace,  N.  Y. 

Shoes  from  Measure. — Ladies  who  have  been  disappointed  m 
the  fit  and  proper  shape  of  their  Shoes,  are  invited  to  give  my

to  any  part  of  the  United  States,  from  their  measure,  and  all  fur- 
ther misfits  be  at  an  end. 

Embroidered  Slippers. — I  have  constantly  on  hand  a  very  large 
and  elegant  assortment  of  Embroidered  Slippers  and  Patterns, 
which  I  make  up  to  order.  Ladies'  attention  is  called  to  them, 
particularly  those  wishing  to  make  presents.

Difficulties. — Difficulties  are  clearly  God's  own  intervention,  to  try  our 
tempers,  and  prove  the  metal  that  is  in  us.  Without  them,  life  would  be 
neither  a  struggle  nor  a  trial,  and  man  would  run  his  race,  leaving  no  marks 
to  distinguish  his  course  from  that  of  other  men.  Difficulties,  which  arc  the 
plea  of  the  ti:;ud  and  laggard,  the  excuse  of  the  idle,  and  the  shoal  on  which 
the  multitude  wreck  their  richer  argosies,  are  the  sport  of  the  bold  and  the 
lM)ur  of  the  persevering.  The  earnest,  manly  spirit  looks  upon  the  difficul- 
ties that  hinder  the  coward  and  sluggard,  as  opportunities  for  distinction. 

A  Fine  Thought. — A  French  writer  has  said,  that  "  to  dream  gloriously, 
!you  must  act  gloriously  while  you  are  awake  :  and  to  bring  angels  down  to 
j  converse  with  you  in  your  sleep,  you  must  labor  in  the  cause  of  virtue  dur- 
j ing  the  day.1'

N.  Y.  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons. — This  institution  wars

the  Legislature  in  1S07.  It  is  located  on  Fourth  avenue,  corner  of  Twenty- 
third  street.  It  contains  an  extensive  library  and  physiological  collection. 
The  medical  department  of  Columbia  College  was  merged  into  this  institu-

its  claims  upon  the  public  regard.  Its  museum  may  be  visited  by  applying

Science  and  Religion. — True  science  and  true  religion  are  twin  sisters, 
and  the  separation  of  either  from  the  other  is  sure  to  prove  the  death  of 
both.  Science  prospers  exactly  in  proportion  as  it  is  religious;  and  religion 
flourishes  in  exact  proportion  to  the  scientific  depth  and  firmness  of  its  basis. 

A  Candid  and  Conscientious  Witness. — A  witness,  on  entering  the 
box,  had  a  testament  presented  to  him,  but  he  declined  to  be  sworn.  Being 
asked  his  reasons  for  refusing,  he  naively  replied,  w  I'll  tell  a  lie  wi1  ony  mon

The  Colored  Orphan  Asylum. — An  association  was  organized  in  1836, 
for  the  benefit  of  colored  orphans,  and  incorporated  by  an  act  of  the  legisla- 
ture. The  sum  of  $3,000  was  soon  collected  :  and  arrangements  were  made 
for  commencing  operations  on  a  limited  scale;  but  so  great  was  the  preju- 
dice against  that  portion  of  the  destitute  whom  the  society  proposed  to  re- 
lieve, that  suitable  premises  could  not  be  procured.  After  a  time,  however, 
two  lots  of  land,  with  a  house,  on  Twelfth  street,  were  purchased  for  $9,000] 
In  1840,  the  manager  reported  the  receipt  of  $13,000  as  a  building  fund  ;  'and 
two  years  after,  the  corporation  of  the  city  made  the  society  a  giant  of  20 
lots  of  ground  on  Fifth  avenue,  between  Forty-third  and  Forty-fourth 
streets. 

Open  to  visitors,  Tuesdays  and  Fridays,  from  9  A.  M.  to  4  P.  M.  Fifth 
avenue  stages  pass  the  asylum.    Fare  six  cents. 

The  Heart  of  Man  is  like  the  thermometer.  In  a  genial  atmosphere 
—warmed  by  kind  feelings  and  sympathetic— the  mercurv,  like  the  heart, 
expands ;  but  on  the  approach  of  a  bleak  wind,  and  when  thrown  on  the 
hard  and  cold  portion  of  humanity,  the  mercury  descends  and  stagnates,  and 
like  the  heart  becomes  frigid. 

We  suppose  there  can  be  no  disputing  the  fact  that  the  first  Arktic  expe- 
dition was  got  up  by  Noah.

The  Colored  Home. — The  Colored  Home  is  on  First  avenue,  between 
Sixty -fourth  and  Sixty-fifth  streets.  It  has  forty -four  lots  of  ground;  on 
which  substantial  buildings  are  erected,  sufficient  for  three  hundred  persons. 
The  object  of  this  institution  is  to  furnish  moral  and  religious  instruction, 
proper  care  for  the  indigent,  sick  and  infirm,  of  the  colored  persons  of  the 
city.  It  is  chiefly  supported  by  annual  subscriptions  from  benevolent  Indi- 
viduals. It  is  managed  by  an  association  of  Indies.  It  is  well  conducted, 
and  is  accomplishing  great  good  to  those  who  share  its  munificence.

The  Ekason  Why. — A  lady,  observing  the  following  notice  on  a  board  : 
"  Horses  taken  in  to  grass.  Long  tails,  three  shillings  "and  sixpence:  short 
tails,  two  shillings,"  asked  the  owner  of  the  land  the  reason  for  the  difference 
of  price. 

"  Why,  you  see,  ma'am,"1  he  replied,  "the  long  tails  can  brush  away  the 
flies,  but  the  short  tails  are  so  tormented  by  them  "they  can  hardly  eat  at  all.1; 

Signs. — It  is  a  good  sign  to  see  a  man  wiping  the  perspiration  from  his  face ; 
it  is  a  bad  sign  to  sec  a  fellow  wiping  his  mouth  as  he  comes  out  of  a  cellar.

CHAMPAGNE,  PRINCE  IMPERIAL.

Nor,  overpower'd  with  arms,  deserts  his  eause ;

should  call  for  the  Prince  Imperial  Champagne,  which  can  be  had 
at  all  the  leading  Hotels. 

Bead  the  following  Testimonials : 

Mr.  E.  V.  Haughwout:         Howard  Hotel,  April  7,  1859. 

Dear  Sir  :  In  reply  to  your  inquiry  relative  to  the  merits  of  the 
PBINCE  Imperial  Champagne,  purchased  from  you,  I  take  pleas- 
are  in  stating  that  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction  to  my  customers,

dently  recommend  to  the  public, 

Yours,  respectfully,  J.  E.  Kingsley.

indorse  the  above  recommendation. 

Treadwell,  \Vhitcomb  &  Co.,  St.  Nicholas  Hotel.

hesitation  in  indorsing  the  foregoing  statement.

Old  Age. — When  men  grow  virtuous  in  their  old  age,  they  are  merely  ' 
making  a  sacrifice  to  Go»l  of  the  devil's  leavings. — Swift. 

Riches. — If  a  man  wishes  to  become ) rich,  he  must  appear  to  be  rich.—

Bearing  others'  Misfortunes. — I  never  knew  a  man  who  could  not  bear 
the  misfortunes  of  others  with  the  most  Christian  resignation. — Sia'/t. 

Philosophy  triumphs  easily  over  past  and  over  future  evils,  but  present : 
evils  triumph  over  philosophy. 

Actions. — However  brilliant  an  action  may  be,  it  ought  not  to  pass  for 
great  when  it  is  not  the  result  of  a  great  design. 

Abilities. — The  art  of  being  able  to  make  good  use  of  moderate  abilities 
wins  esteem,  and  often  confers  more  reputation  than  real  merit. 

Vanity  bids  all  her  sons  be  brave,  and  all  her  daughters  chaste  and  courte- 
ous. But  why  do  we  need  her  instructions?  Ask  the  comedian  who  is, 
taught  a  part  which  he  does  not  feel. — Sterne. 

"He  saw  with  a  double  coach-house, 

A  cottage  of  gentility, 
And  the  devil  was  pleased,  for  his  darling  sin 
Is  the  pride  that  apes  humility." — Southey.

Love  on  through  all  ills,  and  love  on  till  they  die.

"  Priest-rid,  sir,"  said*  a  valet-de-chambre,  who  stood  behind  the  chair,

"  No,  friend,"  replied  the  bishop,  "  Balaam  could  not  speak  for  himself, 
and  so  his  ass  spoke  for  him."

nent. Our  Custom  Department  claims  particular  attention,  being 
a  Circular  Room  fit  from  a  dome  68  feet  high,  and  finished  in  a 
superior  style  of  art.

Note. —  We  refer  all  visitors  to  Mr.  Sands,  who  will  see  that  all  are 
properly  served.    The  reputation  of  the  above  house  is  a  suffi- 
cient guarantee  for  goods  purchased. — Editor. 


Interest. — We  often  persuade  ourselves  that  we  love  people  more  power- 
ful than  we  are;  and  yet  it  is  interest  alone  that  produces  our  friendship. 
We  do  not  associate  with  them  for  any  good  that  we  wish  to  do  them,  but 
for  that  which  we  would  receive  from  them. 

Cotton  Crop. — The  amount  of  cotton  exported  in  1S53  from  the  United 
States  was  2,255,588  bales,  weighing  1,035,341,750  pounds,  and  valued  at 
$131,575,859. 

A  Bright  Scholar. — One  of  the  earlier  French  princes  being  too  indolent 
or  too  stupid  to  acquire  his  alphabet  by  the  ordinary  process,  twenty -four 
servants  were  placed  in  attendance  upon  him,  each  with  a  huge  letter  paint- 
ed upon  his  stomach.  As  he  knew  not  their  names,  he  was  obliged  to  call 
them  by  their  letter  when  he  wanted  their  services,  which  in  due  time  gave 
him  the  requisite  degree  of  literature  for  the  exercise  of  the  royal  functions. 

Valor. — Love  of  glory,  fear  of  shame,  the  design  of  making  a  fortune,  the 
desire  of  rendering  our*  lives  easy  and  agreeable,  and  the  envious  wish  of 
lowering  the  fame  of  others,  are  often  the  causes  of  that  valor  so  celebrated 
among  men. 

Composition  of  Meat  and  Milk  — Meats  are  generally  about  three-fourths 
water;  and  milk,  as  it  comes  from  the  cow,  over  ninety  per  cent.

D.  DEVLIN  &  CO.'S 

CLOTHING  HOUSE, 

258,  259  and  260  Broadway,  New  York. 
D.  Devlin  &  Co.  solicit  the  attention  of  strangers  visiting  New 
York,  to  their  immense  stock  of  Clothing  and  Furnishing  goods. 
We  court  the  largest  competition ;  for,  in  a  municipal  population 
of  a  million,  and  a  national  one  of  thirty  millions,  there  will  be 
plenty  for  all  to  do  in  this  metropolitan  centre  of  trade.  But  com- 
I  petition,  to  be  real  and  successful,  requires  that  the  articles  offered 
must  be — 

1.  Superior  in  style,  make  and  quality. 

2.  More  economical  in  price. 

In  the  first,  we  think  we  are  justified  in  asserting  that  we  have 
no  competition,  nor  in  the  second,  when  the  quality  and  style  are 
considered.  But  we  now  propose  to  lead  off  in  another  new  fea- 
ture, namely :  to  establish  a  tariff  of  profits,  the  principle  of  which 
is,  the  lower  the  tariff  the  greater  the  consumption.  The  per- 
centage will  be  uniform  throughout,  and  brought  down  to  the 
lowest  point  of  a  wholesale  commission  on  the  entire  of  our  retail 
and  merchant  tailoring  stock.  Our  stock  of  Clothing  now  on 
hand  is  the  largest  and  most  stylish  of  any  we  have  ever  got  up 
And  our  stock  of  Cloths,  Cassimeres,  Vestings,  &c,  in  the  merchant 
tailoring  department,  contains  a  most  perfect  assortment  of  all  the 
new  things  of  the  season,  of  our  own  styles  and  importation.

Free  Academy. — The  Free  Academy  of  the  city  of  New  York  is  situated 
in  Twenty-third  street,  corner  of  Lexington  avenue  It  was  established  in 
1848  by  the  Board  of  Education  of  the  city  of  New  York,  in  pursuance  of 
an  act  of  the  legislature  of  the  state,  parsed  May,  1S47,  for  the  purpose  of 
providing  classical  education  for  such  pupils  over  twelve  years  of  age,  of  the 
common  schools,  as  may  wish  to  avail  themselves  of  its  advantages.  Th« 
students  are  admitted  in  annual  classes,  and  the  full  term  of  study  is  five 
years.  All  its  expenses  for  instructors,  apparatus,  library,  cabinet  collections, 
books  and  stationery,  are  paid  out  of  the  public  treasury  of  the  city. 

Nearly  $100,000  have  been  expended  in  the  purchase  of  the  ground  and 
erection  of  the  building.  The  school  is  now  in  successful  operation  under 
talented  professors,  and  affords  some  of  the  finest  advantages  of  learning  of 
any  institution  in  the  country. 

Very  touching  and  beautiful  were  the  words  of  the  old  schoolmaster,  as 
life  passed  away:  "It  is  growing  dark— the  school  maybe  dismissed."  Down 
to  the  very  gates  of  the  unseen  world,  he  carried  his  love  and  regard  for  the 
children  whom  he  had  trained. 

No  one  sees  the  wallet  on  his  own  back,  though  every  one  carries  twrj 
acks — one  before,  stuffed  with  the  faults  of  «his  neighbors,  the  other  behind, 
lied  with  his  own.

Men's  Clothing. — A.  M.  &  Co.  invite  purchasers  of  Men's  Cloth- 
ing for  their  own  use,  to  their- large  and  varied  assortment,  got  up 
with  more  than  usual  care  in  style  of  cut,  make  and  selection  of 
goods.  No  pains  are  spared  to  have  every  thing  well  made  and 
well  and  appropriately  trimmed,  so  as  to  give  the  greatest  value  to 
the  purchaser  for  the  amount  of  money  paid.  As  we  never  deviate 
from  the  marked  price  in  selling,  we  use  great  care  in  fixing  the 
price  so  that  it  will  be  as  low  or  lower  than  can  be  found  elsewhere, 
of  the  same  quality  in  every  respect. 


Our  Custom  Department  never  gave  such  universal  satisfaction 
as  during  the  present  season.  The  cutters  are  first  class,  and  the 
assortment  of  piece  goods  as  desirable  as  can  be  found. 

The  great  reputation  of  A.  M.  &  Co.,  in  Boys'  Clothing  supersedes 
the  necessity  of  saying  more  than  that  the  assortment  already  in 
store  is  larger  and  more  desirable  than  ever. 

Strangers  visiting  New  York  are  particularly  invited  to  exam- 
ine our  stock.

Youth  has  been  compared  to  the  morning  of  the  day :  for  at  that  time 
the  sun  has  just  begun  to  shed  its  glorious  light,  and  every  thing  around 
looks  so  beautiful,  their  imaginations  are  led  to  sappose  that  no  shadows 
can  cross  such  a  sunny  path. 

Old  Age  has  been  compared  to  the  evening  of  the  day  :  for  then  the  sua 
sets,  making  them  remember  the  bright  morning;  hence  it  is  that  in  old 
age  the  scenes  of  boyhood  float  around  the  memory. 

The  Musician  who  composed  the  "march  of  intellect"  is  engaged  on  a

All  who  have  meditated  on  the  art  of  governing  mankind  have  been  con- 
vinced that  the  fate  of  empires  depends  upon  the  education  of  youth.

Pure  Truth,  like  pure  gold,  has  been  found  unfit  for  circulation,  because

Corneille's  Advice  to  Racine.— When  Racine  consulted  Corneille  about 
his  tragedy  of  Alexandre,  Corneille  advised  him  to  abandon  tragedy,  telling 
him  that  he  was  destitute  of  talent  for  this  sort  of  writing.  Fontenelle  gave 
the  same  advice  to  Voltaire,  after  his  tragedy  of  Brutus.  So  great  may  be 
the  errors  of  great  critics.

Mademoiselle  Rachel  and  the  Duke  of  Wellington. — Mademoiselle 
Rachel,  when  giving  one  of  her  readings  before  the  Duke  of  Wellington, 
perceived  that  all  her  audience  were  ignorant  of  the  French  language  except 
the  duke  himself.  She  went  on,  however,  with  her  reading  and  spouting, 
consoling  herself  with  the  idea  that  the  duke  at  least  understood  her.  After 
it  was  over,  the  duke  approached  the  great  actress,  and  said :  41  Mademoiselle, 
our  guests  have  had  a  great  advantage  over  me ;  they  have  had  the  happiness 
of  hearing  you  ;  I  am  as  deaf  as  a  post." 

It  is  almost  always  the  fault  of  the  lover  not  to  know  when  he  is  no  longer 
bred. 

The  most  violent  passions  leave  us  some  moments  of  relaxation,  but  vanity 
always  agitates  us. 

We  seldom  find  people  ungrateful  as  long  as  we  are  in  a  condition  to  ren- 
der them  services. 

What  makes  us  often  discontented  with  negotiators  is,  that  they  almost 
always  abandon  the  interest  of  theif  friends  for  the  success  of  the  negotiation, : 
which  becomes  their  own,  from  the  credit  of  having  succeeded  in  their  un- 
dertaking. '

Lord  Faulkner,  author  of  the  play  called  The  Marriage  Night,  was 
chosen,  very  young,  to  sit  in  Parliament ;  and  when  ho  was  first  elected, 
some  of  the  members  opposed  his  admission,  urging  that  he  had  not  sown 
all  his  wild  oats. 

"Then,"  replied  he,  "it  will  be  the  best  way  to  sow  them  in  this  house, 
where  there  are  so  many  geese  to  pick  them  up." 

Hypocrisy  is  like  a  wide  sheet  of  thin  ice;  you  may  play  and  gambol  on 
its  surface,  and  pretend  that  it  is  solid ;  but  soon  the  thin  and  fragile  material 
will  wear  away,  and  you  will  go  plump  to  the  bottom,  never  more  to  rise.  •

Home  for  the  Friendless.— This  useful  and  philanthropic  institution 
was  founded  in  1834,  hy  private  munificence.  It  is  under  the  care  of  the 
American  Female  Guardian  Society.  Its  object  is  to  afford  a  place  and 
means  of  protection  for  destitute,  respectable  females  without  employment, 
friends  or  home,  and  within  the  age  and  circumstances  of  temptation  :  also 
for  friendless  children  of  "both  sexes,  until  they  can  be  committed  perman- 
ently to  the  guardianship  of  foster-parents  or  worthy  families,  who  wiii 
train  them  to  respee: ability  and  usefulness.  This  institution  is  located  on 
East  Thirtieth  street,  between  Fourth  and  Madison  avenues;  and  is  open 
daily,  Sundays  excepted,  from  9  A.  M.  to  5  P.  M. 

King  Charles  II.  on  a  certain  time  paying  a  visit  to  Dr.  Busby,  the 
doctor  is  said  to  have  strutted  through  his  school  with  his  hat  upon  his 
head,  while,  his  Majesty  walked  complaisantly  behind  him,  with  his  hat 
under  his  arm ;  but  when  he  was  taking  his  leave  at  the  door,  the  doctor 
with  great  humility,  thus  addressed  himself : 

14  Sir,  I  hope  your  Majesty  will  excuse  my  want  of  respect  hitherto  ;  but  if 
my  boys  were  to  imagine  there  was  a  greater  man  in  the  kingdom  than  my- 
self, I  should  never  be  able  to  rule  them.1'

Hope — Though  hope  often  deceives  us,  we  have  still  the  same  confidence, 
and  our  life  passes  away  in  hoping. 

Truth. — The  truth  offends  no  "one ;  it  ought  to  pass  out  of  the  mouth  as 
naturallv  as  the  air  we  breathe. 

Michael  Angelo. — The  husband  and  father  of  the  woman  that  nursed 
Michael  Angelo  were  stone-masons,  and  the  chisel  was  often  put  into  the 
hands  of  the"  child  as  a  plaything. 

Why  He  Didn't  Kiss  Her.— The  author  of  "Heart  Pictures"  assigns  the 
following  sufficient  reasons  for  not  kissing  Mrs.  G.:  L  Iain  such  a  good

The  Hall  of  Records. — This  building  is  situated  in  the  Park,  a  short  dis-  j 
tance  north-east  of  the  City  Hall.  It  was  built  of  coarse  brown  stone,  and  j 
used  as  a  city  prison.  During  the  prevalence  of  the  cholera  in  1S32,  it  was  \ 
converted  into  an  hospital.  Since  that  time  the  interior  has  been  thoroughly  ; 
remodelled,  and  maile  fire-proof;  the  exterior  stuccoed  in  imitation  of  marble,  I 
and  a  portico,  supported  by  four  Ionic  pillars,  added  to  each  end,  giving  it  a  I 
neat  and  graceful  appearance.  It  now  contains  the  county  clerk's  office,  in  i 
which  the  records  of  the  city  are  kept. 

A  Dandy's  occupation  is"  to  show  his  clothes;  if  they  could  but  walk'

himself. 

Number  of  Hairs  in  the  Head. — A  German  savant  has  taken  the  trouble 
to  count  the  number  of  hairs  existing  in  four  heads  of  hair  of  different 
colors.  He  found  in  a  blonde,  140,409  distinct  hairs;  in  a  brown,  109,440;  in 
a  black,  102.960  ;  in  a  red,  SS,740. 

"When  I  arrove,"  said  Spriggins,  "at  the  house  of  my  deceased  friend,  he  j 
was  perspiring  his  last.  I  stood  by  his  bedside,  and  said,  as  he  was  too  far 
gone  to  talk  Brother,  if  you  feel  happy,  jist  squeeze  my  hand1 — and  he 
sqvoze  it."

offenders  in  our  penitentiary,  and  where  they  can  be  taught  useful  trades, 
and  encouraged  to  habits  of  industry  and  self-reliance,  and  thus  saved  from 
a  life  of  infamy  and  crime.  A  building  well  adapted  to  the  purposes  has 
been  erected,  in  which  are  commodious  school-rooms,  a  chapel,  rooms  for 
exercise,  sleeping-rooms,  &c.  There  are  large  play-grounds  attache.d  to  the

ber of  boys  is  about  two  hundred  and  fifty,  and  of  girl*  about  seventy-five, 
who  are  here  detained  until  their  minds  are  imbued  with  correct  principles,

We  only  hate  the  wicked  through  interest.  If  they  did  us  no  injury  we 
should  look  upon  them  with  indifference. 

Avoid,  if  possible,  receiving  any  obligation  which  you  have  reason  to 
believe  you  wiii  never  have  it  in  your  power  to  repay. 

Politeness  has  been  denned  to  be  artificial  good  nature:  but  we  may 
affirm  with  much  greater  propriety,  that  good  nature  is  natural  politeness. 

Curran  when  opposed  to  Lord  Clare,  said  he  reminded  him  of  a  chimney 
sweep,  who  had  raised  himself  by  dark  and  dusky  ways,  and  then  called 
aloud  to  the  neighbors  to  witness  his  dirty  elevation. 

It  is  often  much  easier  to  ruin  a  man  of  principle  than  a  man  of  none,  for 
the  former  may  be  ruined  through  his  scruples.  Knavery  is  supple,  and  can 
bend ;  but  honesty  is  firm  and  upright,  and  yields  not. 

Brains. — An  eminent  painter  was  asked  what  he  mixed  his  colors  with  to 
produce  so  extraordinary  an  effect  — 

"I  mix  them  with  brains,  sir!"  was  the  answer. 

Hope  makes  time  very  long;  enjoyment  very  short. 

Eeason  shows  us  our  duty;  he  who  can  make  us  love  our  duty  is  more 
powerful  than  reason. 
Wb  promise  according  to  our  hopes,  and  perform  according  to  our  fears. 
Pro  v.— He  that's  down,  down  with  him,  cries  the  world.

Valuable  Facts. — The  body  of  Dryden  was  deposited  in  the  grave  of 
Chaucer,  just  three  centuries  after  his  burial,  in  the  year  1700. — Goldsmith 
died  two  thousand  pounds  in  debt. — As  proof  of  the  wonderful  memory  of 
Thomas  Fuller,  it  is  said  that  he  could  repeat  five  hundred  unconnected 
words  after  twice  hearing  them,  and  recite  the  whole  of  the  signs  in  the 
principal  street  of  London,  after  once  passing  through  it  and  back  again. — 
Locke  was  banished  as  a  traitor,  and  wrote  his  k*  Essay  on  the  Human  Un- 
derstanding" sheltering  himself  in  a  Dutch  garret.— Homer  sang  his  own 
ballads. — Virgil  was  so  fond  of  salt  that  he  seldom  went  without  a  boxful  in 
his  pocket. — Addison,  who  is  acknowledged  to  have  been  one  of  the  mott 
elegant  writers  that  ever  lived,  was  awkwardly  stupid  in  conversation. 

As  ill-timed  Prayer. — Last  summer,  at  Mull,  a  messenger  having  re- 
quested a  London  clergyman  to  announce  w  If  Dr.  was  among  the 

audience,  he  was  urgently  wanted,"  the  clergyman  added,  from  sympathy, 
"  and  may  God  have  mercy  on  the  poor  patient !"  The  doctor,  in  a  ra^e  de- 
manded and  received  an  humble  apology. 

Clear  Judgment. — A  wit  having  been  asked  by  another  person  whether 
he  would  advise  him  to  lend  a  certain  friend  of  theirs  money,  said :  "  What ! 
lend  him  money  ?  You  might  give  him  an  emetic,  and  he  would'nt  return 
it."

HAMLET  ON  PICTURES. 

Look  here  upon  this  picture,  and  on  this ; 
Two  simple  efforts  of  our  modern  ar* 
See,  what  a  finish  marks  this  manly  brow ; 
Each  play  of  feature,  every  thought  itself; 
The  sun-like  flashing  of  the  rolling  eye, 
*      The  lips  which  almost  seem  to  part  and  speak, 
To  give  the  world  assurance  of  their  life. 
This  was  done  by  Faris.    Look  you  now  what  follows: 
Here  is  the  other,  a  bleared  and  mildewed  thing, 
Bad  in  position,  worse  in  expression, 
With  neither  grace,  nor  comeliness,  nor  finish : 
A  base  abortion  all.    This  was  done  by —

Leake  and  Watts  Orphan  House  was  founded  by  a  legacy  of  John 
George  Leake,  who  died  in  this  city,  June  2,  1827;  the' name  of  Watts  was 
added  out  of  respect  to  John  Watts,  Esq  ,  the  executor  of  Mr.  Leake,  who 
withdrew,  in  favor  of  the  institution,  a  claim  which  he  held  to  a  part  of  the 
estate.  The  house  is  situated  between  Ninth  and  Tenth  avenues,  on  111th 
and  112th  streets,  some  seven  miles  from  the  City  Hall.  It  contains  a  main 
building,  and  two  wings,  the  whole  presenting  a  front  of  206  feet.  It  was 
open  for  the  admissionof  orphans  in  1842.  There  are  about  26  acres  of  land 
connected  with  this  institution.  The  whole  is  unencumbered,  and  has  an 
income  capable  of  supporting  from  200  to  250  children.  This  institution,  like 
the  New  York  Orphan  Asylum,  is  admirably  conducted,  and  open  to  visitors.

An  Irishman  who  had  returned  from  Italy,  where  he  had  been  with  his

"Yea,  then,  Pat,  what  is  the  lava  I  hear  the  master  talking  about?1' 

M  Only  a  drop  of  the  crater,"  was  Pat's  witty  reply. 

Levity  loses  more  than  it  gains;  for  we  often  part  with  our  self-dignity, 
and  in  return  get  nothing  but  idle  folly.

Photographs  from  life  size  to  miniature,  colored  in  oil,  pastil  or 
water  colors. 

Likenesses  of  Deceased  Persons  made  from  Daguerreotypes  or 
Ambrotypes.  In  this  branch  of  the  art  the  subscriber  has  attained 
great  success,  and,  by  the  aid  of  the  Parisian  artists  in  his  employ, 
can  guarantee  a  perfect  likeness,  life  size,  or  less,  from  a  very  small 
Daguerreotype. 

The  Miniature  Photograph  for  presents,  is  a  very  complete  and 
beautiful  picture,  possessing  all  the  merits  of  the  ivory  miniature, 
and  much  superior  as  a  likeness.  They  are  put  up  in  velvet  cases,

Valuable  Facts.  — Handel  was  such  a  miser  that  he  was  frequently  known 
to  wear  a  shirt  a  mo  nth  to  save  the  expense  of  washing. — It  is  said  that 
Dryden  was  always  cupped  and  physicked  previous  to  a  grand  effort  at 
tragedy.  He  was  a  firm  believer  in  astrology. — It  is  said  that  Pitt  required 
a  great  deal  of  sleep,  seldom  being  able  to  do  with  less  than  ten  or  eleven 
hours. — Butler  did  not  become  an  author  until  he  was  fifty  years  old. — 
Richardson,  of  M  Pamela,"  &c,  did  not  begin  to  write  till  he  was  almost  fifty 
years  of  age. — Robert  Ferguson  died  in  an  insane  asylum. — The  wife  of 
Beattie,  the  poet,  became  insane,  and  was  confined  in  an  asylum  for  some 
years. — The  first  wife  of  Southey  died  insane. — Chatterton  put  a  period  to 
his  own  life  at  the  age  of  eighteen. 

Money. — Those  who  think  that  money  will  do  any  thing,  may  be  suspected 
of  doing  any  thing  for  money. 

Christian  Life  consists  in  faith  and  charity. 

Rum  has  sunk  more  seamen  than  all  the  tempests  that  ever  blew. 
Do  the  Frowns  of  faith  startle  you  ?    Fear  her  smiles  still  more. 
Reputation  is  like  polished  steel — it  may  be  tarnished  by  a  breath. 
When  an  extravagant  friend  wishes  to  borrow  your  money,  consider  which 
of  the  two  you  had  rather  lose.

Gentlemen  : — Having  made  a  thorough  examination  of  Delano's

feel  it  my  duty,  knowing,  as  a  navigator,  the  great  dangers  that

and  material  to  any  garment  of  the  kind  to  be  obtained,  the  float, 
or  life-preserver,  being  entirely  concealed.  I  shall  urge  all  officers 
of  vessels,  who  value  their  own  lives  or  the  lives  of  the  passengers, 
to  procure  Delano's  Life-preserving  Coats,  Vests,  etc.,  and  would 
recommend  all  passengers  who  would  feel  that  security  which 
they  cannot  feel  without  it,  always  to  be  supplied  with  what  I 
deem  an  indisnensable  article.

The  Merchants'  Exchange. — This  building  occupies  the  entire  block  of 
ground  between  Wall,  William,  Hanover  streets,  and  Exchange  place,  the 
same  site  of  the  former  Exchange,  which  was  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of 
1835.  It  is  built  in  the  most  substantial  manner,  of  Quincy  granite,  and  is 
fire-proof.  It  is  200  by  171  feet,  77  high  to  the  cornice,  and  124  to  the  top  of 
the  dome.  A  recessed  portico  fronts  on  Wall  street,  in  which  are  18  Grecian 
columns,  38  feet  high,  and  4^  feet  in  diameter  at  their  base.  Each  is  formed 
from  a  single  block,  and  weighs  from  43  to  45  tons.  Their  entire  cost  was 
$55,000.  The  rotunda,  which  is  the  principal  room,  is  in  the  centre  of  the 
building.  Its  diameter  is  80  feet,  and  its  height  is  the  same.  It  is  sur- 
mounted by  a  dome,  in  which  there  is  a  large  sky-light,  rising  from  the  centre, 
resting  in  part  on  8  Corinthian  fluted  columns  of  Italian  marble,  41  feet  high, 
and  5  feet  in  diameter. 

It  cost,  including  the  ground,  $1,500,000.  Open,  free  to  visitors,  from  8  A.

Cicf.ro  retorted  upon  a  degenerate  patrician  who  taunted  him  with  lack  of

DR.  ALBERT  C.  McNULTY, 

SURGEON  DENTIST, 

21  Bond  Street,  New  York. 

Dr.  McNulty  respectfully  calls  the  attention  of  New  York 
visitors  desiring  Dental  operations,  to  the  following  advantages 
to  be  derived  at  his  Dental  establishment. 

1st.  The  teeth  are  garnished  with  a  continuous  artificial  gum, 
roof,  and  ruga,  of  the  mouth,  without  seam  or  crevice,  with  all  the 
delicate  tints  and  shades  peculiar  to  those  of  nature. 

2d.  The  sunken  portions  of  the  face  are  restored  to  their  original 
fulness,  thus  rejuvenating  the  waning  cheek,  which  cannot  be  done 
by  the  usual  mode  of  inserting  artificial  teeth. 

3d.  The  insides  of  the  teeth  and  gums  have  the  same  form  as  the 
natural  organs — to  this  form  the  tongue  is  readily  adapted,  and 
the  enunciation  becomes  clear  and  distinct.  A  truthful  expression 
is  also  given  to  the  teeth  and  mouth,  which  makes  them  appear  as 
the  prototype  of  nature. 

This  system  adds  great  importance  to  Dental  science,  as  it  com- 
bines the  skill  of  the  artist  with  that  of  the  Dentist,  whose  talents 
are  displayed,  not  upon  canvas,  but  upon  the  living  features  of 
the  face. 

Prices  axd  work. — I  guarantee  my  work  of  a  superior  char- 
acter, while  my  prices  will  be  found  most  satisfactory.  Call  and 
examine  my  specimens. 

Note. —  We  most  cordially  recommend  Dr.  McNulty  to  parties  re- 
quiring dentistry.  His  work  is  superior  and  charges  mod- 
erate.— Editor. 


Mercantile  Library  Association. — This  valuable  institution  is  located 
at  Astor  place,  Eighth  street.  The  new  Clinton  Hall  is  one  of  the  most 
commodious  library  edifices  in  the  country.  In  the  basement  story  is  a  lec- 
ture-room capable  of  seating  nine  hundred  persons.  The  reading-room  is  on 
the  second  floor,  90  by  60  feet.  The  library  is  on  the  third  and  fourth  stories, 
the  principal  room  being  on  the  third,  and  surrounded  by  Corinthian  columns 
surmounted  by  a  splendid  dome,  and  has  room  for  the  accommodation  of 
125,000  volumes.    Open  from  8  A.  M.  to  9  P.  M. 

It  was  founded  in  1820,  and  is  one  of  the  most  vigorously  conducted  and 
flourishing  libraries  in  the  United  States. 

Any  person  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits,  or  a  clerk,  may  become  a 
member,  if  approved  by  the  board,  and  paying  an  initiation  fee  of  $1.  The 
annual  charge  is  $2.  Merchants  and  others  are  admitted  to  the  use  of  the 
library  and  reading-room  by  paying  $5  annually.  Volumes  in  library, 
55,000. 

Rubini's  reason  for  not  leaving  tiie  Stage. — When  Iiubini  was  asked 
how  it  came  that  he  took  leave  of  the  public  so  often,  and  yet  returned,  he 
said:  "I  find  it  a  most  difficult  thing  to  take  leave  of  a  hundred  pounds  a 
night,"

Durer's  Anachronism — Grotesque  anachronisms  sometimes  appear  in  the 
efforts  of  painters.  In  one  of  Albert  Durer's  paintings  of  St.  Peter  denying 
the  Saviour,  a  Roman  legionary,  is  represented  as  smoking  a  pipe  of  tobacco! 
In  a  Dutch  picture  of  Abraham  offering  up  Isaac,  the  patriarch  is  shown  in 
the  act  of  holding  a  blunderbuss  to  his  son's  head. 

To  praise  good  actions  heartily  is  in  some  sort  to  take  part  in  them.

enemies  of  virtue  L  and  when  they  wish  to  persecute  it,  they  pretend  to  be- 
lieve that  it  is  false',  or  suppose  it  capable  of  crimes. 

Women  who  love,  more  readily  pardon  great  indiscretions  than  little  in- 
fidelities. 

Fortune.— We  should  manage  our  fortune  as  we  do  our  health ;  enjoy  it 
when  good,  be  patient  when  it  is  bad,  and  never  apply  violent  remedies,  ex- 
cept in  an  extreme  necessity. 

Miss  Pope  was  railed  one  evening  in  the  green-room,  by  a  certain  actress 
noted  more  for  her  gallantries  than  professional  talents,  on  the  longness  of 
her  waist,  on  which  she  observed,  4k  I  could  only  wish  it,  madam,  as  slender 
as  your  reputation.'" 

Prov.-— Meddlers  are  the  devil's  body-lice ;  they  fetch  blood  from  those  that 
feed  them. 


DICTIONARY,  WORCESTER'S  ROYAL  QUARTO. 


There  are  some  things  I  cannot  bear, 
Some  looks  which  rouse  my  angry  hate, 

Some  hearts  whose  love  I  would  not  share, 
Till  earth  and  heaven  were  desolate.—  Willis.

PUBLISHED  BY 

Hickling,  Swan  &  Brown,  Boston, 
S.  A.  ROLLO  &  CO.,  29  PARK  ROW,  NEW  YORK. 
Worcester's  Royal  Quarto  Dictionary,  now  nearly  beady, 
10,000  words  added  to  the  vocabulary.    These  are  mostly  techni- 
cal and  scientific  erms. 

More  than  1,200  Illustrations  of  terms  of  Botany,  Mechanics. 
Architecture,  Heraldry,  and  ornithology. 

A  complete  treatment  op  synonymous  terms. 
The  Synonymes  and  Illustrations  are  incorporated  in  the  body 
of  the  Text,  in  immediate  connection  with  the  words  to  which 
they  relate    thus  saving  the  inconvenience  of  reference  either  to 
a  separate  or  to  another  part  of  the  same  work. 

The  Pronunciation  of  every  word  indicated  by  both  phonetic 
and  accentual  indices,  and  in  all  cases  of  doubtful  or  various  pronun- 
ciation, the  different  methods  given  with  the  authorities. 

The  above  are  some  of  the  features  of  this  great  work,  in  regard  to  which 
the  most  eminent  scholars  of  the  country,  to  whom  the  advance  sheets 
have  been  submitted,  do  not  hesitate  to  say  "It  is  the  best  Dictionary 
of  the  English  language. "  It  will  be  ready  in  a  few  weeks,  and  we  risk 
nothing  in  assuring  the  public  that  it  will  be  found  not  unworthy  the  repu- 
tation of  Dr.  Worcester  or  the  expectations  raised  by  its  announcement. 
The  delay  in  its  publication  has  been  absolutely  necessary  to  secure  these 
ends,  and  to  make  it  an  accurate  and  reliable  work  of  reference,  for  the 
scholar  as  well  as  the  professional  and  business  man. 

Note. —  The  high  character  of  the  testimonials  in  favor  of  the  above 
work,  places  it  at  the  head  of  Dictionaries.  Every  Scholar^

The  University  Medical  College.— This  is  connected  with  the  un- 
versity,  and  is  under  the  general  supervision  of  its  chancellor  and  trustees. 
It  has  a  substantial  building  on  Fourteenth  street,  near  Third  avenue, 
where  its  fine  library  and  physiological  collections  are  deposited.  It  is  under 
the  immediate  direction  of  able  professors,  whose  clinical  lectures  alford  to 
students  rare  opportunities  for  practical  instruction. 

Great  Question. — Henry,  in  his  History  of  England,  states  that  the  fol- 
lowing parts  of  learning  were  cultivated,  in  some  degree,  in  Britain,  during 
the  period  from  1066  to  1216:  grammar,  rhetoric,  logic,  metaphysics,  physics, 
ethics,  scholastic  divinity,  the  canon  law,  arithmetic,  geometry,  astronomy, 
astrology  and  medicine.  He  also  gives  the  following,  to  show  the  trifling 
questions  that  were  agitated  by  the  logicians  of  that  period  : — 

When  a  hog  is  carried  to  market  with  a  rope  tied  round  his  neck,  which 
is  held  at  the  other  end  by  a  man,  whether  is  the  hog  carried  to  market  by 
the  rope  or  the  man  ? 

Eloquence. — There  is  as  much  eloquence  in  the  tone  of  voice,  in  the  eye, 
and  in  the  air  of  a  speaker,  as  in  his  choice  of  words. 

Proy. — Love,  being  jealous,  makes  a  good  eye  look  asquint. 

Frov. — He  that  is  poor,  all  his  kindred  scorn  him  ;  he  that  is  rich,  all  are 
kin  to  him.

It  has  stood  the  test  of  over  ten  years'  experience,  and  is  recom- 
mended by  all  the  most  eminent  physicians  as  the  most  valuable 
remedy  in  use.  This  remedy,  so  valuable  when  pure,  becomes 
worthless  or  injurious  when  adulterated.  See  that  the  label  has

particular  in  compounding  every  preparation  which  may  fall  under 
their  immediate  care,  or  be  subject  to  their  supervision.  "  Send 
out  nothing  that  you  would  be  unwilling  to  take  if  you  were  ill," 
is  a  standing  rule,  or  order  of  the  concern.  In  the  purchase  of 
materials,  the  motto  is,  always  "  let  the  price  be  secondary  in  con-

Married  Men  and  St.  Peter. — Once  upon  a  time  there  were  two  friends 
who  were  greatly  attached  to  each  other,  and  who  agreed  that  whichever  of 
them  died  first  should  appear  to  the  other,  and  tell  him  how  matters  went 
in  the  other  world.  They  were  both  married  men.  and  the  first  who  died  ful- 
filled his  promise,  and  appeared  to  his  friend.  M  How  do  you  get  on  ?"  asked 
the  latter.  "  Famously,"  replied  the  ghost.  "When  I  presented  myself  at 
the  gate  above,  St.  Peter  said  to  me  :  1  What  has  been  thy  life  V   '  Scnor," 

I  replied,  'I  am  a  poor  man  :  I  was  married  '  'Say  no  more,'  said  his 

holiness:  'pass  in,  you  have  gone  through  purgatory, "and  now  you  may 
enter  into  glory  !'  "  Then  the  apparition  vanished,  leaving  his  friend  greatly 
satisfied  and  consoled.  In  process  of  time  his  wife  died,  and  he  inarriea' 
again.  "When  the  hour  arrived  that  he  was  carried  out  of  his  house,  feet 
foremost,  he  presented  himself  in  high  spirits  to  St.  Peter.  "  What  has  been 
thy  life  ?" asked  the  saint.  "I  was  married  twice,"'  replied  the  new-comer, 
confidently  taking  a  step  in  advance.  "Back,  gossip,  back  !"  cried  St.  Peter, 
locking  the  gate  in  his  face  :  there  is  no  room  in  heaven  for  born  idiots." 

'Desires. — It  is  happy  for  human  nature  that  there  are  desires  which  can- 
not be  satisfied.  Otherwise,  the  most  sorry  man  would  make  himself  master 
of  the  world. 

Pkov. — A  pilot  is  not  chosen  for  his  riches,  but  his  knowledge.

Rembrandt  pursued  his  art  with  incredible  industry  during  the  whole 
course  of  his  life.  His  genuine  pictures  are  numerous,  "llis  sketchings  are 
no  less  esteemed.  The  best  collection  ever  made  of  them  in  England  was 
that  by  Arthur  Pond,  the  engraver,  which  was  sold  after  his  death,  in  1760, 
for  five  thousand  five  hundred  and  forty-six  pounds  seven  shillings  and  six- 
pence; but  the  largest  was  that  by  Monsieur  Amandie  de  Burgy,"at  Hague, 
which  was  publicly  sold  in  1775,  and  contained  two  hundred  and  fifty-seven 
ortraits,  one  hundred  and  sixty-one  histories,  one  hundred  and  fifty-five 
gures,  eighty-three  landscapes,  consisting,  in  the  whole,  of  six  hundred  and 
.sixty-five "prints,  with  their  variations. 

Men  often  proceed  from  love  to  ambition,  but  they  seldom  proceed  from

Actions. — We  should  often  be  ashamed  of  our  best  actions  if  the  world 
could  see  all  the  motives  which  produced  them. 

Those  who  are  overreached  by  cunning  are  far  from  appearing  to  us  as 
ridiculous  as  we  appear  to  ourselves,  when  the  cunning  of  others  has  over- 
reached us. 

Imagination  cannot  invent  so  many  different  contrarieties  as  naturally 
exist  in  the  heart  of  every  individual.

The  New  York  Orphan  Asylum. — This  noble  institution,  designed  for 
the  care  and  culture  of  the  tender  plants  of  misfortune  riven  from  the  parent 
stem  by  death,  is  delightfully  situated  on  the  brow  of  a  gentle  slope,  on  the 

I  banks  of  the  Hudson,  between  Seventy-third  and  Seventy-fourth  streets. 
The  grounds  cover  an  area  of  15  acres,  extending  from  the  Bloomingdale  road 

j  to  the  river.  The  building  is  of  stone,  in  Gothic  style,  and  is  120  feet  in 
length,  and  50  in  width. 

This  institution  is  the  offspring  of  the  u  Society  for  the  Relief  of  Poor- 
Widows  with  Small  Children,"  which  was  organized  in  1S06  by  several 
benevolent  ladies,  among  whom  were  Mrs.  Isabella  Graham,  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Hamilton  (the  widow  of  General  Alexander  Hamilton),  and  Mrs.  Joanna 
Bethune.  It  is  supported  by  private  bequests  and  annual  subscriptions. 
These  contributions  are  daily  working  out  Dlessings  of  inestimable  value. 

The  Longest  Beard  recorded  in  history  was  that  of  John  Mayo,  painter 
to  the  Emperor  Charles  V.  Though  he  was  a  tall  man,  it  is  said  that  his 
beard  was  of  such  a  len-rth  that  he  could  tread  upon  it.  He  was  very  vain 
of  his  beard,  anil  usually  fastened  it  with  a  ribbon  to  his  button-hole ;  and 
sometimes  he  would  untie  it  by  the  command  of  the  Emperor,  who  took 
great  delight  in  seeing  the  wind  blow  it  in  the  face  of  his  courtiers.

When  Daniel  Webster  was  in  the  West,  some  years  ago,  Mr.  B.,  one  of 
the  most  conspicuous  citizens,  on  being  introduced  to  the  distinguished 
statesman,  addressed  him  as  follows  :  "  I  have  read  your  Spelling-book  and 
Dictionary,  Mr.  Webster,  but  I  never  before  had  the  pleasure  of  your  ac- 
quaintance." 

Evil. — There  are  some  people  of  whom  we  should  never  have  believed 
evil,  unless  we  had  seen  it ;  but  there  are  none  at  whom  we  ought  to  be 
surprised  when  we  do  see  it. 

Gentleness. — It  is  only  persons  of  firmness  that  can  have  real  gentleness; 
those  who  appear  gentle  are,  in  general,  only  of  a  weak  character,  which 
easily  changes  into  asperity. 

Prov. — Marry  in  haste,  and  repent  at  leisure  ;  'tis  good  to  marry  late  or 
never. 

Confidence. — The  desire  of  being  pitied  or  admired  often  makes  the

New  York  Juvenile  Asylum.— Office  23  West  13th  street;  Asylum, 

•  175th  street,  near  High  Bridge.  The  objects  of  this  benevolent  institution 
are  to  furnish  a  refuge,  in  the  true  sense"  of  the  word,  for  the  children  of  our 

;  city  whom  misfortune,  the  vices  or  the  crimes  of  parents,  or  orphanage, 
have  made  friendless  and  homeless,  leaving  them  exposed  to  the  debiting 
influences  of  bad  associates,  and  the  temptations  to  crime  which  abound  in 
our  midst.  The  Juvenile  Asylum  is  not  a  prison  like  the  House  of  Befog*

Lessing,  the  celebrated  German  poet,  was  remarkable  for  a  frequent 
absence  of  mind.  Having  missed  money,  at  different  times,  without  being 
able  to  discover  who  took  it,  he  determined  to  put  the  honesty  of  his  servants 
to  the  test,  and  left  a  handful  of  gold  on  the  table.    "Of  course  you  counted 

!  it,"  said  one  of  his  friends.    "  Counted  it,"  sai^  Lessing,  rather  embarrassed, 

i  "  no,  1  forgot  that."

\  mit  the  most  ridiculous  ones. 

|    Nothing  so  much  prevents  our  being  natural  as  the  desire  of  appearing  so. 
I    WnEN  our  Hatred  is  too  keen  it  places  us  beneath  those  we  hate.

Kean's  Expenditures.— From  the  January  of  1814  to  that  of  1S33,  Kean 
was  the  star  of  the  British  stage,  and  his  individual  talents  drew  more,  and 
for  the  exertion  of  these  talents  he  himself  received  more,  than  any  three 
performers  that  coexisted  with  him.  His  books  show  a  sum  nearly  averag- 
ing £10,000  a  year  for  eighteen  years.  How,  with  his  active  life,  so  vast  a 
sum  could  have  been  expended — for  he  never  gambled — is  one  of  the  things 
which  those  who  knew  him  best  can  never  cease  to  wonder  at.  He  had 
some  silly  habits  of  display,  such  as  travelling  on  all  occasions  in  a  carriage 
and  four;  but  his  household  expenses  were  always  on  a  moderate  scale; 
yet  a  few  days  before  his  death  he  was  in  danger  of  an  arrest  for 'a  sum  not 
exceeding  £100. 

It  is  more  easy  to  become  acquainted  with  men  in  general  than  with  any 
man  in  particular.  , 

Why  fly  from  the  unhappy  ?  Their  state  makes  us  more  sensible  of  the  ' 
value  of  the  happiness  we  possess. 

Prov.— In  settling  an  island,  the  first  building  erected  by  a  Spaniard  would 
be  a  church  ;  by  a  Frenchman,  a  fort;  by  a  Dutchman,  a  warehouse ;  and  by 
an  Englishman,  an  ale-house.

New  Courthouse  — At  the  nortwest  corner  of  the  Park  stands  a  splendid 
fire-proof  brown  stone  building,  105  feet  long  by  72  feet  wide,  three  stories 
in  height  on  the  Park,  and  four  on  Chambers  street.  It  is  occupied  by  the 
supreme,  superior,  and  marine  courts,  the  court  of  sessions,  recorder,  city

At  the  north-east  corner  of  the  Park,  another  brown  stone  building  has

companies  on  the  first  floor.  The  upper  part  is  used  for  the  Fourth  and  Sixth

his  ease,  and  beats  the  parson  in  his  management  of  the  devil. 

New  York  Lawyer. — An  old  lady,  reading  an  account  of  a  distinguished 
old  lawyer  who  was  said  to  be  the  father  of  the  New  York  bar,  exclaimed. 
»  Poor  man !  he  had  a  dreadful  set  of  children 

Have  the  Courage  to  pass  your  host's  lackey  at  the  door  without  giving 
him  a  shilling,  when  you  cannot  afford  it;  and,  what  is  more,  that  tho  man 
has  not  earned  it.

The  Post-Office. — The  building  occupied  by  the  Post-office  belongs  to 
the  corporation  of  the  Middle  Dutch  church,  and  was  their  place  of  worship 
from  the  close  of  the  17th  century  until  1S44.  It  is  the  oldest  church  edifice  j 
now  remaining  in  the  city.  A  great  portion  of  the  wood  work  of  the  steeple, 
completely  wrought,  was  brought  from  Holland;  the  building  itself  is  of! 
stone.  During  the  Revolution,  it  was  near  the  upper  verge  of  the  city,  its  j 
location  being  upon  Nassau,  Cedar  and  Liberty  streets.

Railroad  Speed. — The  following  is  said  to  be  a  correct  calculation  of  the 
speed,  in  a  given  time,  on  the  railroads  of  different  countries:  England — 
main  speed,  36;  express,  63;  maximum,  S2.  Germany — main  speed,  36; 
express,  58;  maximum,  76;  United  States — main  speed,  40;  express,  S6; 
maximum,  100.  France — main  speed,  40;  express,  72;  maximum,  S6.  It 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  in  the  United  States  there  are  lines  of  the 
length  of  8,800  miles,  the  stations  on  which  are  at  great  distances  from  each 
other. 

Ambitiox. — The  greatest  ambition  has  not  the  least  appearance  of  it  when 

it  finds  the  absolute  impossibility  of  reaching  the  height  it  aspires  after. 
Folly  pursues  us  in  every  period  of  life.    If  any  one  appears  wise,  it  is 

only  because  his  follies  are  proportioned  to  his  age  and  fortune. 
!    Courage. — Vanity,  shame,  and,  above  all,  temperament,  are  often  the 

causes  of  courage  in  men,  and  of  virtue  in  women. 
I    Prov. — The  wicked  heart  never  fears  God  but  when  it  thunders. 
I    The  oldest  known  painting  in  the  world  is  a  Madonna  and  Child  in  886. 
|  The  oldest  in  England  are  said  to  be  the  portraits  of  Chaucer,  painted  in

The  Loss  of  an  Eye,  or  a  blemished  one,  is  a  deformity  most 
seriously  felt  by  those  so  afflicted.  To  such  visiting  New  York  we 
call  the  attention  to  our  Enameled  Artificial  Human  Eye,  which 
defies  all  suspicion  of  being  other  than  genuine.  J.  Boch  and  P. 
Gougelmann  (previously  employed  at  Prof.  Boissonneau's,  at  Paris) 
are  the  sole  manufacturers  of  all  kinds  of  Enamel  and  Artificial 
Human  Eyes  of  a  superior  quality. 

Persons  having  lost  an  Eye  may  have  this  deformity  removed 
by  the  insertion  of  an  artificial  one  that  moves  and  looks  just  as 
the  natural  organ.  The  insertion  gives  no  pain.  Persons  living 
at  a  distance,  having  a  sample — broken  or  otherwise — by  sending 
the  same,  can  be  supplied  according  to  sample,  without  calling 
personally.

The  Rotunda. — This  edifice,  of  circular  form,  with  a  large  dome,  standing 
near  the  northeast  corner  of  the  Park,  was  erected  in  1818,  by  John  Vander- 
lyn,  the  eminent  painter,  for  the  purpose  of  exhibiting  panoramic  pictures. 
It  is  now  devoted  to  the  Croton  "Water  Department. 

The  Charitable  Institutions  of  this  city  have  7,630  inmates,  according 
to  the  report  of  the  Alms  House  Governors,  just  made. 

A  Russian  Peculiarity. — The  Russians  drink  first  and  eat  afterward, 
and  never  drink  without  eating.  If  wine  and  biscuits  are  placed  on  the  table, 
every  one  takes  a  glass  of  wine  first,  and  then  a  biscuit;  and  at  the  zakouska 
before  dinner,  those  who  take  the  customary  glass  of  votka  take  an  atom  of 
caviare  or  cheese  after  it,  but  not  before  it.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Russians 
drink  only  at  the  beginning  of  a  repast. 

Mr.  Pope  being  at  dinner  with  a  noble  duke,  had  his  own  servant  in  livery 
waiting  on  him;  the  duke  asked  him — 

M  Why  he,  that  ate  mostly  at  other  people's  tables,  should  be  such  a  fool 
as  to  keep  a  fellow  in  livery  to  laugh  at  him  ?M 

"  'Tis  true,"  answered  the  poet,  "  I  keep  one  to  laugh  at  me,  but  your  grace 
has  the  honor  to  keep  a  dozen.

Hypocrisy  is  the  homage  which  vice  renders  to  virtue. 

Wit. — A  small  degree  of  wit  accompanied  by  good  sense,  is  less  tiresome 
in  the  long  run  than  a  great  amount  of  wit  without  it. 

The  Gold  Product  of  California,  for  1858,  was  $58,111,446;  and  that  of 
Australia.  $57,953,552.  The  total  product  of  both  countries,  up  to  1858,  was

Population  of  the  World. — According  to  the  American  Almanac  for 
1859,  the  population  of  the  globe  is  as  follows  :  Africa,  100,000,000;  America, 
57.676,882  ;  Asia  and  islands,  626.000,000 ;  Australia  and  islands,  1,245,000 ; 
Kurope,  262,517,521;  Polynesia,  1,500,000.    Total,  1,050,139,403. 

Thomas's  Prediction. — When  Thomas  was  preparing  one  of  his  first 
almanacs,  a  man  who  was  engaged  upon  the  work  with  him  asked  what  he 
should  say  about  the  weather  opposite  a  certain  week  in  July.  Thomas 
humorously  or  peevishly  replied,  "Thunder,  hail  and  snow."  It  was  so  put 
down  and  printed;  and  it  so  happened  that  it  did  thunder,  hail  and  snow 
at  the  very  time.  This  fortunate  prediction  raised  the  almanac-maker  in 
the  estimation  of  many,  and  made  his  almanacs  the  most  popular  in  America.

Rutgers  Female  Institution. — This  seminary  for  young  ladies  is  pleas  - 
antly  situated  upon  Madison  street,  near  Clinton  street.  The  edifice  is  of 
granite,  surrounded  by  shade  trees  and  shrubbery.  It  was  incorporated  in 
1^38,  and  has  always  been  a  flourishing  institution.  It  has  a  fine  library 
selected  with  great  care ;  and  excellent  philosophical  apparatus  for  illus- 
trating the  subjects  of  astronomy,  chemistry,  and  other  branches  of  science. 
Its  course  of  instruction  embraces  history,  general  philosophy,  mathematics 
and  belles  lettres,  by  which  young  ladies  are  thoroughly  prepared  for  the 
pursuit  of  general  knowledge,  for  the  duties  of  teachers,  and  for  that  moral

A  MiscniEVOUS  Boy,  having  got  possession  of  his  grandfather's  spectacles,

finding  he  could  not  see,  he  exclaimed,  "Mercy  on  me,  I've  lost  my  sight!"' 
but  thinking  the  impediment  to  vision  might  be  the  dirtiness  of  the  classes, 
took  them  off  to  wipe  them,  when,  not  feeling  them,  he,  still  more  frightened, 
cried  out,  u  Whv,  what's  come  now?    "Why,  I've  lost  my  feeling  too."

Lawyers. — According  to  the  u  Asiatic  Researches,"  a  very  curious  mode

the  disputed  spot,  in  each  of  which  the  lawyers  on  either  side  put  one  of 
their  legs,  and  remain  there  until  one  of  them  is  tired,  or  complains  of  being 
stung  by  the  insects,  in  which  case  his  client  is  defeated.  In  this  country  it 
is  too  generally  the  client,  and  not  the  lawyer,  "who  puts  his  foot  in."

St.  Paul's  Church  is  built  of  sandstone  of  a  dark-brown  color,  and  is 
remarkable  as  differing  from  other  churches  in  having  its  spire  at  the  end 
farthest  from  the  street.  It  is  also  one  of  the  oldest  churches  in  the  city. 
It  was  here  Washington  worshipped  when  in  New  York.  On  tile  front  wall 
of  the  church,  and  partially  inserted  in  it,  there  is  a  monument  to  General 
Montgomery,  who  fell'  gloriously  fighting  at  Quebec,  and  whose  remains  are 
here  deposited.  The  pews  are  free  to  strangers.  Corner  of  Vesey  and  Broad-

Faith. — That  was  a  most  admirable  and  appropriate  answer  which  a  poor 
woman  once  gave  to  a  minister  who  asked  her  "What  is  faith  ?" 

"I  am  ignorant,"  she  replied,  "and  I  cannot  answer  well;  but  I  think 
faith  is  taking  our  Heavenly  Father  at  his  word." 

It  was  the  gifted  Summerfield  who  first  mentioned  this  anecdote  in  a  dis- 
course delivered  in  this  city,  soon  after  his  arrival  in  the  country. 

An  old  Lady,  whose  son  was  about  to  proceed  to  the  Black  Sea,  among  her

she  did  not  want  him  to  come  home  a  "nigger."

Trinity  CriTjROH. — This  elegant  structure  is  situated  upon  Broadway,  at 
the  head  of  Wall  street,  and  appropriately  keeps  "watch  and  ward"  over 
the  street  morals  of  that  court  of  Mammon.  The  corporation  is  one  of  the 
oldest,  and  by  far  the  wealthiest  of  the  kind,  in  the  United  States.  Its 
riches  consist  principally  of  real  estate  in  the  city  of  New  York,  now  valued 
at  several  millions  of  dollars.  The  first  place  of  worship  in  the  city  was  a 
small  wooden  building  in  the  fort  at  Bowling  Green,  and  known  as  the 
Dutch  Church.  When  the  English  took  possession  of  the  city  in  1644, 
episcopal  service  was  held  there,  and  it  was  called  "  the  king's  chapel."  This 
was  the  pare i if  of  the  episcopal  churches  in  America. 

Curran,  when  opposed  to  Lord  Clare,  said  he  reminded  him  of  a  chim- 
ney-sweep, who  had  raised  himself  by  dark  and  dusky  ways,  and  then  called 
aloud  to  the  neighbors  to  witness  his  dirty  elevation. 

It  is  often  much  easier  to  ruin  a  man  of  principle  than  none,  for  the  for- 
mer may  be  ruined  through  his  scruples.  Knavery  Is  supple  and  can  bend, 
but  honesty  is  firm  and  upright,  and  yields  not. 

Bruns— An  eminent  painter  was  asked  what  he  mixed  his  colors  with 
to  produce  so  extraordinary  an  effect : — 

"  I  mix  them  with  brains,  sir  !"  was  the  answer.

Hurlgate,  East  River,  and  six  miles  north-east  of  the  City  Hall.  It  was  named 
in  honor  of  the  late  John  Jacob  Astor.  It  is  celebrated  as  tfie  encampment 
of  that  portion  of  the  British  army  which  crossed  from  Long  Island  to 
Throg's  Neck,  Westchester  county,  after  the  battle  of  Long  Island.  Ferry-

is  perhaps  not  more  than  2  per  cent  on  the  income  of  all  classes.

tied  to  one's  tail     upon  which  Lady  E.  was  presented  with  these  lines: 
"Lord  E.  at  woman  presuming  to  rail, 
Calls  a  wife  a  ktin  canister  tied  to  one's  tall 
And  fair  Lady  Anne,  while  the  subject  he  carries  on, 
Seems  hurt  at  his  lordship's  degrading  comparison. 
"But  wherefore  degrading?    Considered  aright, 
A  canister's  polished,  and  useful,  and  bright; 
And  should  dirt  its  original  purity  hide, 
That's  the  fault  of  the  puppy  to  whom  it  is  tied."

Brooklyn. — This  city,  the  capital  of  King's  conntv,  N.  Y  ,  is  situated  on 
the  west  end  of  Long  Island.  It  is  separated  from  Kew  York  city  by  an 
arm  of  the  sea,  three-quarters  of  a  mile  wide,  denominated  the  East  Iiiver, 
i  which  connects  the  bay  of  New  York  with  Long  Island  Sound.  The  viein- 
!  ity  of  the  city  of  Xew  York  presents  no  finer  situations  than  are  to  be  found 
on  the  high  grounds  of  Brooklyn.  The  city  is  regularly  laid  out,  and  the 
streets,  with  the  exception  of  Fulton,  are  generally  straight,  sixty  feet  wide, 
i  and  cross  each  other  at  right  angles.  Some  of  the  streets  are  wider.  Brook- 
lyn is  one  of  the  finest-built  cities,  of  its  extent,  in  the  Union.  Its  beauti- 
ful and  airy  situation,  and  excellent  water,  have  made  it  a  favorite  place  of 
residence  to  many  individuals  who  do  business  in  New  York,  as  it  is  nearer 
the  commercial  centre,  and  living  is  less  expensive  there  than  in  our  own 
city.  To  these  causes  it  owes  a  most  rapid  growth.  Brooklyn  is  connected 
with  New  York  by  several  ferries,  the  boats  of  which  are  constantly  plying, 
durini;  the  day  and  night.  Brooklyn  is  denominated  the  "City  of  Churches^" 
though  statistics  prove  that  their  number  is  not  so  lanre,  in  proportion  to  the 
number  of  inhabitants,  as  those  in  the  city  of  New  York.  Geonrc  Jansen

Magna  Charter  Recovered. — The  transcript  of  Magna  Charter,  now  in

of  his  tailor,  who  was  just  about  to  cut  the  precious  document  up  into 
u measures11  for  his  customers.  Sir  Robert  redeemed  the  valuable  curiosity 
at  the  price  of  old  parchment,  and  thus  recovered  what  had  long  been  sup- 
posed to  be  irretric  vably  lost. 

I  esteem  greatly  the  ignorance  of  a  man  who  believes  and  confesses  his

Bloomingdale. — A  suburban  village  on  Broadway,  extending  down  to  the 
banks  of  the  Hudson.  It  is  remarkable  for  the  neatness  of  its  grounds  and 
dwellings;  and,  with  its  emerald  lawns  extending  on  either  hand  as  far  as 
the  eye  can  reach,  and  sloping  down  to  the  quiet  waters,  forms  a  pleasant 
picture  to  the  eye,  and  delightful  for  the  heart  to  dwell  upon.  The  Orphan 
Asylum  is  situated  here.  It  is  six  miles  from  the  City  Hall,  and  is  reached 
by  either  Broadway  stages  or  Sixth  avenue  ears  to  the  corner  of  Broadway 
and  Thirty-second  streets,  thence  by  Bloomingdale  stages.  Fare  through, 
12  cents. 

Why  is  Hheumatism  like  a  glutton  ?    Because  it  attacks  the  joints. 

Mary  and  varied  are  the  female  charms  that  conquer  us.  Here  we  find  a 
woman  whose  strength,  like  Samson's,  is  in  her  hair;  a  second  holds  your 
j  affections  by  her  teeth ;  and  a  third  is  a  Cinderella,  who  wins  hearts  by  her 
j  pretty  foot. 

Benevolence  is  kept  in  motion  by  its  own  acts.  When  it  is  genuine, 
nothing  impedes  its  progress;  and  a  trifle  preserves  the  spirit  of  its  action; 
]  nay,  the  very  acknowledgments  of  the  relieved  are  fresh  and  irresistible 
motives  to  exertion.

GUXg  AND  PISTOLS. 


The  <rreat  King  of  kings 
TIath  in  the  table  of  his  law.commanded 
That  thou  shalt  do  no  murder ;  wilt  thou  then 
Spurn  at  his  edict  and  fulfil  a  man's. — Shakspeare. 

Peot. — Have  not  thy  cloak  to  be  made  when  it  begins  to  rain. 
JOSEPH  MERTTIN,  Agent, 
VOLCANIC  REPEATING  FIRE-ARMS, 
269  Broadway,  X.  Y. 

The  rapidity  of  execution  of  this  Arm  places  it  beyond  all  com- 
petition. The  thirty-shooter  can  be  loaded  and  fired  in  less  than 
one  minute — a  quickness  and  force  of  execution  which  is  as  much 
superior  to  the  best  revolvers  as  they  are  to  the  old  muzzle-loading 
single-shooters. 

Its  safety  from  accidental  discharge  is  a  great  consideration  in 
its  favor ;  for  while  the  magazine  (a  tube  running  the  whole  length 
of  the  barrel)  may  be  rilled  with  balls,  and  thus  the  gun,  in  fact, 
be  loaded  from  breech  to  muzzle,  it  is  yet  impossible  from  any 
carelessness  in  handling  to  discharge  it.  Its  construction  is  simple 
and  its  workmanship  most  perfect,  hence  it  is  not  easily  got  out  of 
repair. 

Its  proportions  are  light,  elegant  and  compact,  and  the  barrels 
are  'all  rii^d  with  great  exactness.  It  requires  no  cap  nor  priming, 
no  bullet-mould  or  powder-flask.  The  powder  and  cap  is  contained 
in  a  loaded  Minnie  ball,  of  the  best  form  and  proportions,  and  is  as 
sure  as  the  best  percussion  caps. 

Its  shoots  with  accuracy  and  greater  force  than  any  other  arm 
can  with  double  the  powder  used  in  this.  Directions  for  use  ac- 
company each  Arm.    Balls  are  packed  in  tin  cases,  200  each. 

Note. —  The  above  arms  are  certainly  one  of  the  wonders  of  the  age. 
Mr.  Merwin  is  always  at  his  post  and  will  be  happy  to  serve 
all. — Editor.

Swiss  Manufactfeing  Industry. — The  population  of  Switzerland  is 
about  2,400,000.  Of  this  number,  250,000  are  employed  in  the  different 
branches  of  manufacture.  Of  these,  73,000  are  engaged  in  spinning,  weav- 
ing, bleaching,  or  printing  cotton ;  45,00-)  in  the  silk  trade ;  and  39,500  in  the 
clock  and  watchmaking  trades.  The  silk  and  cotton  trades  are  principally 
confined  to  the  German  cantons  of  Basle,  Zurich  and  St.  Gall ;  the  watch 
and  clock  trades  are  chiefly  carried  on  in  the  French  cantons.  From  Geneva 
alone  the  United  States  receive  annually,  via  Havre,  about  240,000  watches; 
though  it  is  believed  that  the  success  which  has  already  signalized  watch- 
making industry  in  the  United  States — but  a  year  ago  a  mere  experiment — 
will  cause  a  sensible  diminution  in  the  importation  of  Swiss  watches,  so  long 
an  important  element  in  our  trade  with  that  republic. 

Science,  when  well  digested,  is  nothing  but  good  sense  and  reason. 

There  are  few  friends  but  admit  of  advice,  but  scarce  any  who  can  abide 
censure 

A  Great  Sotjl  ought  to  be  more  sensible  of  benefits  than  affronts. 

By  Showing  too  much  dread  of  being  deceived,  we  often  discover  the 
manner  whereby  we  are  deceived. 

Kepftation.— There  are  few  persons  of  greater  worth  than  their  reputa- 
tion; but  how  many  are  there  whose  worth  is  far  short  of  their  reputation.

Hamlet  and  Gutldensterne. — On  one  occasion,  when  John  Kemble 
played  Hamlet  in  the  country,  the  gentleman  who  acted  Guildensterne  was, 
or  imagined  himself  to  be,  a  capital  musician.  Hamlet  asked  him,  44  Will 
you  play  upon  this  pipe?1'  "My  lord,  I  cannot."  "I  do  beseech  you." 
44  Well,  if  your  lordship  insists  upon  it,  I  shall  do  as  well  as  I  can."  And,  to

Shakspeaee  and  Queen  Elizabeth. — Queen  Elizabeth  condescended 
sometimes  to  a  little  flirtation.  Shakspeare  was  performing  the  part  of  a 
king;  Queen  Elizabeth's  box  was  contiguous  to  the  stage;  she  purposely 
dropped  her  handkerchief  upon  the  boards  at  the  feet  of  Shakspeare,  having 
a  mind  to  try  whether  her  poet  would  stoop  from  his  assumed  majesty.  She 
was  mistaken.  "Take  up  our  sister's  handkerchief,"  was  his  prompt  and 
dignified  order  to  one  of  the  actors  in  his  train. 

Drainage  op  the  Human  System. — Erasmus  "Wilson,  a  distinguished 
physiologist,  counted  the  perspiratory  pores  on  the  palm  of  the  hand,  and  in 
a  square  inch  found  3,528,  with  each  of  which  a  little  tube  a  quarter  of  an 
inch  long  was  connected ;  making  the  length  of  tube  in  a  square  inch  832 
inches,  or  73^  feet.  On  the  pulp  of  the  fingers  the  number  of  pores  was  a 
little  greater;  on  the  heel  the  number  was  2,268,  and  the  length  of  the  tube 
47  feet.  Taking  2,800  as  an  average  of  the  number  of  pores  to  the  square 
inch  over  the  whole  surface  of  the  body,  and  seven  hundred  consequently  the 
length  of  the  tube  in  inches,  the  number  of  square  inches  of  surface  in  a  man 
of  ordinary  size  being  2,500,  there  would  be  7,000,000  pores,  and  1,750,000 
inches  of  perspiratory  tube,  that  is,  145,S33  feet,  or  nearly  28  miles.  How 
important  the  necessity  of  attention  to  the  skin,  lest  this  drainage  be  ob- 
structed.

Carmansville,  situated  upon  a  rising  ground  on  the  Hudson  Eiver,  in  the 
vicinity  of  Fort  Washington,  and  commanding  an  extensive  and  delightful 
view,  forms  one  of  the  most  popular  of  our  suburban  resorts.  The  facilities 
for  reaching  it,  both  by  railroad  and  stage,  are  rapidly  augmenting  its  popula- 
tion. It  is  nine  miles  from  the  City  I  lull,  and  is  reached  by  Hudson  River 
railroad,  fare  15  cents,  or  by  steamer  Edwin  from  Warren  street  pier;  or  by

Quaker  Inspiration  — Miss  Drumrnond,  the  Quakeress  preacher,  was 
asked  whether  the  spirit  ever  inspired  her  with  the  thoughts  of  getting 
married  ? 

"  No,  friend,"  said  she ;  "  but  the  flesh  has." 

Hugo  Grotius,  on  being  present  at  a  review  of  some  regiments  in  France,

Valuable  Facts. — Alexander  Wilson,  the  distinguished  naturalist,  was 
brought  up  to  the  trade  of  a  weaver,  but  afterward  preferred  that  of  a] 
pedlar,  and  after  that  was  a  schoolmaster. — liobert  Dodsley,  who  was  the 
projector  of  the  "Annual  Register,"  in  which  Burke  was  engaged,  and  who ' 
was  the  first  to  collect  and  republish  the  "  Old  English  Plays,''  which  formed  : 
the  foundation  of  the  "National  Drama,"  raised  himself  from  the  low  con- 
dition of  a  livery  servant,  to  be  one  of  the  most  respectable  and  influential 
men  of  his  time. — Canova  was  the  son  of  an  old  quarryman,  and  originally  a  j 
f  laborer,  Thorwaldsen,  of  a  carver  of  ships. — Samuel  Rogers  was  fixed  in  j 
his  determination  to  become  a  poet  by  the  perusal  of  "Beattie's  Minstrels,"  i 
when  only  nine  years  of  age. 

A  Word  to  the  Weaker  Vessel. — A  lady  who  obstinately  persists  in, 
wearing  hoops  ought  not  to  complain  of  being  ridiculed.  If  she  will  make  a 
barrel  of  herself,  she  must  expect  to  be  treated  as  a  butt.

CHARLES  KNOX, 
HATS,.  CAPS,  FTTES,  ETC. 
212  Broadway  (corner  Fulton  St.),  N.  Y. 

Gentlemen  visiting  New  York,  are  specially  invited  to  exam- 
ine my  stock  of  Hats,  Caps,  etc.,  which,  for  variety  style,  quality 
and  finish,  claims  the  par  eoocellt/ice. 

Gentlemen's  Dress  Hats,  through  my  foreign  agent,  I  am  ena- 
bled to  introduce  here,  simultaneously  with  their  appearance  in  the 
European  Capitals,  thus  distancing  all  competitors. 

Army  and  Navy  Caps,  Children's  Caps  and  Hats,  Ladies'  and 
Gent's  Riding  Hats,  Straw  Hats  of  every  variety,  Felt  Hats,  etc. 

"What  is  that  Crowd  for? — This  is  the  question  we  asked 
the  other  morning  as  we  pushed  our  way  through  a  dense  mass  of 
gentlemen  who  were  gazing  in  at  the  window  of  Knox's  Hat 
Store,  corner  of  Broadway  and  Fulton  street.  We  took  a  look 
ourselves,  and  ascertained  what  caused  the  excitement.  In  the 
windows  were  specimens  of  Knox's  new  style  of  Hats  for  Youths 
and  Young  Men,  called  the  "  Pride  of  Youth,"  and  so  strikingly 
beautiful  and  elegant  are  they,  that  every  passer  by  has  to  stop 
and  admire  them.  They  are  an  entirely  new  article,  unique  in 
shape  and  perfectly  original  in  design.  They  are  a  substitute  for 
the  Cap  and  common  Soft  Hat,  and  are  much  prettier,  neater  and 
more  convenient  than  either  of  those  articles." — New  York  Herald. 
Note. —  We  advise  allicishinga  stylish  and  serviceable  hat  to  visit 
Knox's  establishment. — Editor. 


Cheerful  Music. — The  poet  Carpani  once  asked  his  friend  Haydn  how  it 
happened  that  his  church  music  was  always  of  an  animating,  cheerful  and 
gay  description.  To  this  Haydn's  reply  was,  "I  cannot  make  it  otherwise. 
I  write  according  to  the  thoughts  which  I  feel.  When  I  think  upon  God, 
my  heart  is  so  full  of  joy  that  the  notes  dance  and  leap,  as  it  were,  from  my 
pen;  and  since  God  has  given  me  a  cheerful  heart,  it  will  be  easily  forgiven 
me  that  I  serve  him  with  a  cheerful  spirit." 

Bad  Qualities. — There  are  some  bad  qualities  which  make  great  talents. 

Have  the  Courage  to  shut  your  eyes  at  the  prospect  of  large  profits, 
and  to  be  content  with  small  ones. 

Fifty  Dollars  per  Annum  for  a  Newspaper.— The  first  newspaper  in 
Virginia  was  established  in  17S0.  The  subscription  was  fifty  dollars  a  year. 
Price  for  advertising,  ten  dollars  the  first  week,  and  seven  dollars  for  each 
subsequent  insertion.    The  paper  was  issued  weekly. 

Iron  Production. — The  present  annual  iron  production  of  the  world  is 
about  7,000,000;  of  which  Great  Britain  produces  3.5S5,936;  the  United 
States,  1,000,000;  France,  650,000 ;  Prussia,  400,000 ;  Russia,  800,000 ;  and  Bel- 
gium, about  255,000  tons.

before  you  know  him.

O  grant  me,  Heaven  !  a  middle  state, 
Neither  too  humble,  nor  too  great ; 
More  than  enough  for  nature's  ends, 
With  something  left  to  treat  my  friends.

Valuable  Facts. — The  study  of  "Percy's  Jleliques  of  English  Poetry" 
pave  the  first  impulse  to  the  genius  of  Sir  Walter  Scott.  Tie  has  also  stated 
that  the  rich,  human,  pathetic  tenderness  and  admirable  tact  of  Miss  Edse- 
worth's  "Irish  Portraits"  led  him  first  to  think  that  something  could  be 
done,  or  attempted,  for  his  own  country  of  the  same  kind,  as  she  had  so 
fortunately  achieved  for  Ireland. — During  the  last  six  years  of  the  life  of 
Chalmers,  his  daily  modicum  of  original  composition  was  completed  before 
breakfast,  written"  in  short-hand,  arid  all  done  in  bed.  Milton  frequently 
composed  lying  in  bed  in  the  mornings;  but  when  he  could  not  sleep,  and 
lay  awake  whole  nights,  not  one  versecould  he  make.  He  would  sometimes 
dfctate  forty  lines  in  a  breath,  and  then  reduce  them  to  half  the  number. 

Making  a.  Shift. — Snooks  wonders  where  all  the  pillow-cases  go  to.  lie 
says  that  he  never  asked  a  girl  what  she  was  making,  when  she  was  en- 
gaged in  white  sewing,  without  having  in  answer,  "  A  pillow-case."  Yes, 
they  have  to  "make  shift"  as  best  they  can,  and  answer  any  thing.  A  gen- 
tleman once  asked  a  young  lady  of  his  acquaintance,  "What  are  you  mak- 
ing, Miss  Knapp?"    "  Knapp-sack,"  was  the  quick  reply. 

A  German  Naturalist  has  described  six  hundred  species  of  flies.which  he

Hobokex,  situated  in  Hudson  county,  New  Jersey,  on  the  banks  of  the

Big  Fiddle. — Some  years  since  an  instrument  of  the  fiddle  kind  was  used 
at  concerts  at  Boston,  which  was  so  large  that  to  play  upon  it,  the  performer 
was  obliged  to  mount  upon  a  table,  "it  obtained  the  name  of  the  Grand- 
father of  Fiddles.  The  French  instrument  would,  it  seems,  as  well  deserve 
the  appellation  of  Grandmother  of  Fiddles.

design,  faithfulness  of  execution,  durability,  or  cheapness. 

We  manufacture  for  Invalids  what  is  called  Major  Searle's 
(U.  S.  A.)  Travelling  Invalid  Chair ;  and  is  intended  for  those  who, 
by  wounds  or  sickness,  are  deprived  of  the  use  of  their  lower 
limbs.  The  sitter  can,  with  his  hands,  wheel  himself  in  it  wher- 
ever he  pleases,  and  on  a  floor,  lawn,  or  smooth  road  with  great 
rapidity — thus  affording  good  exercise  as  well  as  locomotion. 

Besides  such  as  the  above,  Mr.  KiDg  makes  very  commodious 
and  original  Chairs  for  drawing-rooms  and  libraries.

Angelo's  Disinterestedness. — Michael  Angelo  was  extremely  disinter- 
ested. For  his  ncble  design  of  the  church  of  St.  Peter,  at  Rome,  he  received 
only  twenty -five  Itoman  crowns,  and  it  was  finished  in  a  fortnight.  Santo 
Gallo  had  been  many  years.employed  in  his  wretched  models,  and  received 
four  thousand  crowns  for  them.  This  being  reported  to  Angelo,  far  from 
being  mortified  or  envious,  he  said,  k.k  I  work  for  God,  and  require  no  other 
recompense." 

Jefferson's  ten  practical  rules  of  life. 

1.  Never  put  off  till  to-morrow  what  can  be  done  to-day, 

2.  Never  trouble  others  to  do  what  you  can  do  yourself. 

3.  Never  spend  your  money  before  you  have  it. 

4.  Never  buy  what  you  do  not  want,  because  it  is  cheap. 

5.  Pride  costs  as  much  as  hunger,  cold  and  thirst. 

6.  We  never  repent  of  eating  too  little. 

7  Nothing  is  troublesome  that  we  do  willingly. 
8.  How  much  pain  those  evils  cost  us  that  never  happen. 
9  Take,  things  by  their  smooth  handle. 
10.  When  angry  always  count  ten  before  you  speak.

so  common.

Ladies'  and  Gents'  India -Rubber  Gloves  and  Mitts,  also  Rub- 
ber Finger  Cots  and  Ladies'  dress  Shields,  wholesale  and  retail. 

Great  improvements  have  been  made  in  the  manufacture  of 
these  goods  of  late,  and  we  can  now  recommend  them  for  general 
use.  The  heavy  gloves  and  mittens  are  unrivalled  as  a  protection 
in  all  kinds  of  acid  work  of  the  chemist,  druggist,  and  photo- 
graphist, manufacturing  and  handling  of  potashes  and  other  strong 
alkalies ;  for  oystermen,  drivers  m  storms,  and  hose  companies  in 
the  fire  department.  We  would  particularly  call  the  attention  of 
farmers,  mechanics,  hatters,  tanners,  milkmen  and  lumbermen  to 
these  gloves  and  mittens,  as  being  well  adapted  to  their  use.  They 
are  superior  to  the  buck  mitten,  especially  in  wet  work.  The 
light  gloves  are  used  for  softening  and  bleaching  the  hands.  As 
a  speedy  and  effectual  cure  for  chapped  or  rough  hands,  salt 
rheum,  &c,  they  have  no  equal;  are  very  useful  while  engaged  in 
domestic  affairs,  such  as  sweeping,  dusting,  house-cleaning,  and 
are  invaluable  in  attending  to  coal  fires ;  a  requisite  in  every  fam- 
ily for  washing,  coloring,  all  roughening  and  dirty  kinds  of  work, 
and  particularly  useful  in  gardening  and  care  of  shrubs  and 
flowers. 

Strangers  are  invited  to  examine  the  above  articles. 
Note. — Mr.  G.  M.  Alter  ton  icitl  show  the  above  articles  to  all

The  Love  that  is  fed  with  presents  always  requires  feeding. 

Promises  go  further  than  performances,  on  the  principle  that  Hope  has 
as  many  lives  as  a  cat,  while  Gratitude  no  sooner  crosses  our  path  than  it  is 
crushed  with  as  little  pity  as  a  black  beetle  ! 

Every  woman  has  some  cosmetic  in  her  cupboard. 

Timidity  in  a  man  is  admired  by  a  woman  a  great  deal  more  than  it  is 
liked. 

Scandal  is  a  visitor  who  never  calls  without  bringing  her  work  with  her. 

Abuse  of  woman,  like  the  abuse  of  wine,  only  falls  upon  the  head  of  him 
who  freely  indulges  in  it. 

If  it  is  difficult  to  see  any  fault  in  a  child,  or  a  book,  or  a  pudding,  or  any 
one  we  love,  how  is  it  possible  that  we  should  see  any  in  ourselves  ? 

The  well-known  Mr.  Price  kept  a  go-down  or  shop  at  Calcutta,  where  he 
sold  a  gun  to  an  Irishman,  who  soon  returned  with  it,  saying  that  the  barrel 
was  much  bent. 

"  Is  it  ?"  said  Price,  "  then  I  ought  to  have  charged  thee  more  for  it.'1 
"  Why  so  ?"  said  the  other. 

"  Because  these  pieces  are  constructed  for  shooting  round  a  corner." 
"If  that  be  the  case,"  says  Paddy,  "then  I  insist  on  retaining  my  pur- 
chase."

One  is  by  following  Broadway  to  the  North,  bringing  you  upon  the  Bloom-

occupants ;  continuing  North,  you  are  regaled  with  sights  of  the  beautiful 
Hudson  rolling  at  your  feet,  covered  with  steamers  "and  ships.  Passing 
through  several  villages,  you  have  arrived  at  the  magnificent  monument  of

'Tis  hard,  where  dulness  overrules,

PORTABLE  IRON  HAILING  CO., 

426  Broadway,  New  York. 

The  Attention  of  the  Public  is  requested  to  our  new  style  cf 
Iron  Railing.  Its  simplicity  of  construction,  beauty  of  design,  and 
economy  in  price,  must  recommend  it  to  the  favorable  considera- 
tion of  all  requiring  Railing  for  Yilla,  Garden,  City  Lots  or  Ceme- 
tery Use. 

It  is  admirably  adapted  for  shipment  to  distant  points,  the  great 
ease  with  which  it  may  be  taken  apart  and  again  adjusted,  render- 
ing it  so  portable.  Fewer  posts  are  needed  to  attain  sufficient 
strength,  which  is  another  prominent  feature  in  the  economy  of  this 
railing. 

Any  ordinarily  handy  man,  with  the  aid  of  a  boy,  can  set  it  up 
or  take  it  apart  with  great  facility,  and  a  broken  part  can  be  re-  • 
placed  in  a  few  minutes,  without  loss  of  a  whole  section,  or  the 
necessity  of  taking  any  of  it  apart. 

2£irs  Specimens  of  the  various  styles,  with  prices  for  the  same, 
can  be  seen  at  our  Warehouse,  No.  426  Broadway.

Jersey  City  —This  city  is  pleasantly  situated  on  the  west  bank  of  the 
Hudson,  in  the  State  of  New  Jersey,  it  is  opposite  to,  and  distant  one  mile 
from  the  city  of  New  York,  with  which  it  is  connected  by  several  ferries, 
and  is  the  commencement  and  terminus  of  various  important  railroads,  con- 
necting it  with  all  the  Southern  and  Western  cities  of  the  Union.  It  is 
largely  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  iron,  flint-glass,  pottery,  starch,  &c. 
The  Cunard  British  Steamship  Company  have  their  wharf  and  store-houses 
here.  The  city  has  increased  rapidly  in  population  within  the  last  ten  years, 
is  regularly  laid  out,  and  supplied  with  water  from  the  Passaic  river,  nine 
miles  distant.  It  is  well  supplied  with  churches  and  literary  institutions, 
and  contains  many  elegant  private  residences.  By  ferry  foot  Barclay  street, 
fare  two  cents. 

The  Highest  Waterfall  in  the  world  is  in  the  Sandwich  Islands,  and 
is  stated  to  be  between  four  and  five  thousand  feet  high.  The  stream  on 
which  the  fall  occurs  runs  along  the  peaks  of  one  of  the  highest  mountains 
— so  high  that  the  water. a etna lly  never  reaches  the  bottom— so  great  is  the 
distance  that  the  water  is  converted  into  mists,  and  ascends  to  the  clouds 
again. 

Whatever  may  be  the  reputation  of  a  man  while  alive,  when  dead  he  is 
generally  allowed  to  be  a  finished  gentleman.

A  Fact — Remf-mbetv  It. — Economy  is,  the  parent  of  integrity,  of  liberty 
and  of  ease,  and  the  sister  of  temperance,  of  cheerfulness  and  of  health  ;  and 
profuseness  is  a  cruel  and  crafty  demon,  that  generally  involves  her  fol- 
lowers in  dependence  and  debts,  that  is,  fetters  them  with  "irons  in  their 
souls.'" 

Man  is  like  a  snow-ball.  Leave  him  lying  in  idleness  against  the  sunny 
fence  of  prosperity,  and  all  the  good  that's  in  him  melts  like  butter;  but 
kick  him  around,  and  he  gathers  strength  with  every  successive  revolution, 
until  he  grows  into  an  avalanche.    To  succeed  you  must  keep  moving. 

A  wise  Man  is  like  a  spring  lock,  always  more  ready  to  shut  than  open.

General  Jackson. — Many  persons  who  have  visited  the  Presidential 
Mansion  at  Washington  will  recollect  Jemmy  Maher,  who  has  been  the  gar- 
dener there  for  many  years.  General  Jackson  had  heard  rumors  that 
Jemmy  was  accustomed  to  get  drunk  and  be  uncivil  to  visitors  at  the  White 
House;  so  one  bright  morning  he  summoned  him  into  his  presence  to 
receive  his  dismissal. 

"Jemmy,1'  said  the  General,  "  I  hear  bad  stories  about  you.  It  is  said  that 
you  are  constantly  drunk,  and  you  are  uncivil  to  strangers." 

Jemmy  was  puzzled  for  a  reply,  but  at  last  he  said — 

*  General,  bedad,  I  hear  worse  stories  about  you,  but  do  you  think  I  be- 
lieve them  ?    No,  by  the  powers  !  I  know  they  are  lies  !" 

Law  is  like  a  sieve ;  you  may  see  through  it,  but  you  will  be  consider- 
ably reduced  before  you  can  get  through  it. 

Law  is  to  the  litigant  what  the  poulterer  is  to  the  goose  ;  it  plucks  and 
it  draws  him;  but  here  the  simile  ends,  for  the  litigant,  unlike  the  goose, 
never  gets  trust,  although  he  may  be  roasted  and  dialled.

Beauty  is  a  transitory  flower;  even  while  it  lasts  it  palls  on  the  roving

Men,  says  Dr.  Hall,  who  have  half  a  dozen  irons  in  the  fire,  are  not  the 
ones  to  go  crazy.  It  is  the  man  of  voluntary  or  compelled  leisure,  who 
mopes  and  pines  and  thinks  himself  into  the  madhouse  or  the  grave.  Motion 
is  all  Nature's  law.  Action  is  man's  salvation,  physical  and  mental.  And 
yet  nine  out  of  ten  are  wistfully  looking  forward  to  the  coveted  hour  when 
they  shall  have  leisure  to  do  nothing,  or  something,  only  if  they  feel  like  it 
— the  very  Siren  that  has  lured  to  death  many  a  *  successful1'  man.  He  only 
is  truly  wise  who  lays  himself  out  to  work  till  life's  latest  hour,  and  that  is 
the  man  who  will  live  the  longest,  and  will  live  to  most  purpose. 

Flattery  is  but  the  applause  of  another's  vanity,  and  the  giver  is  as  des- 
picable as  the  receiver. 

It  is  much  better  to  have  your  gold  in  your  hand  than  in  the  heart. —

"Man,"  says  Adam  Smith,  "is  an  animal  that  makes  bargains.  No  other 
animal  does  this — no  dog  exchanges  bones  with  another." 

Be  Careful. — Be  careful  how  you  charge  another  with  weakness  or  in- 
consistency ;  he  may  be  governed  by  motives  beyond  your  apprehension ;  it 
is  the  final  result  that  stamps  our  conduct  with  wisdom  or  fully. 

When  certain  persons  abuse  us,  let  us  ask  ourselves  what  description  of 
characters  it  is  that  they  admire ;  we  shall  often  find  this  a  very  consolatory 
question. 

If  some  persons  were  to  bestow  one-half  of  their  fortune  in  learning  how 
to  spend  the  other  half,  it  would  be  money  extremely  well  laid  out. 

A  Correspondent  in  Buenos  Ayres  says  that  General  Urquiza,  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Argentine  Confederation,  has  "  started  a  farm"  about  a  hundred 
miles  above  that  city,  comprising  twenty  thousand  acres,  on  which  he  has 
seventy  thousand  sheep,  forty  thousand  head  of  cattle,  and  two  thousand 
horses. 

A  Gravestone  advertiser  speaks  of  '*  designs  of  monuments  selected  for 
Greenwood,  Mt  Auburn,  and  many  other  attractive  places."  The  attrac-

Walpole. — "I  wrote  the  Castle  of  Otranto,"  says  Horace  Walpole,  "in 
eight  days,  or  rather  eight  nights ;  for  my  general  hours  of  composition  are 
from  ten  o'clock  at  night  till  two  in  the  morning,  when  I  am  sure  not  to 
be  disturbed  by  visitants.    While  I  am  writing,  I  take  several  cups  of  coffee." 

Memory. — Why  must  we  have  memory  enough  to  retain  even  the  minutest 
details  of  what  has  happened  to  us,  and  not  enough  to  remember  how  many 
times  we  have  told  them  to  the  same  person  ?

But  as  we  stand  in  fear."

513  Broadway,  (St.  Nicholas  Hotel,)  New  York. 

Fashion  and  convenience  have  long  required  in  this  metropolis  of

The  Pinellian  Library. — The  great  Pinellian  library,  after  the  death  of  its 
illustrious  possessor,  filled  three  vessels,  to  be  conveyed  to  Naples.  Pursued 
by  corsairs,  one  of  the  vessels  was  taken  ;  but  the  pirates  finding  nothing  on 
board  but  books,  they  threw  them  all  into  the  sea.  Such  was  the  fate  of  a 
great  portion  of  this  famous  library.  National  libraries  have  often  perished 
at  sea,  from  the  circumstance  of  conquerors  transporting  them  into  their 
own  kingdoms. 

Characteristics. — If  you  see  a  man's  nails  bitten,  be  certain  he  is  a  hun- 
gry author ;  is  his  coat  tattered  and  torn,  you  may  calculate  he  is  a  poet, 
who  -'chums  with  spidery  and  eats  flies  for  food,"  and  who  has  lived  so  long 
on  fancy  that  nature  requires  reality. 

Some  People  are  disgusting,  with  great  merit — others,  with  great  faults, 
are  agreeable. 

Pretenders  to  virtue  are  those  who  disguise  their  faults  from  others  as 
well  as  themselves.  The  truly  virtuous  know  their  imperfections  and  con- 
fess them. 

Le  Diable  Boiteux  — A  curious  edition  of  the  New  Testament  was  pub- 
lished in  1552,  with  many  woodcuts  of  singular  character.  The  engraving  of 
the  eighth  chapter  of  St.  Matthew  represents  the  devil,  with  a  wooden  leg, 

sowing  tares.

New  Brighton",  a  lovely  place  of  summer  resort,  is  delightfully  situated 
on  the  north  end  of  Staten  Island,  six  miles  from  New  York.  It  contains  a 
number  of  elegant  dwellings,  on  ascending  ground,  two  large  hotels,  a  young 
ladies'  seminary,  and  the  Sailors''  Snug  Harbor.  From  this  place,  the  views 
of  the  Bay  and  Harbor,  and  of  the  city  of  New  York,  are  magnificent  in  the 
extreme. 

The  sovereign  ability  consists  in  knowing  thoroughly  the  value  of  things. 

Raphaels  Paul. — While  Raphael  was  engaged  in  painting  his  celebrated

and  found  fault  without  understanding  it. 

"  The  apostle  Paul  has  too  red  a  face,1'  said  one. 

"He  blushes,  even  in  heaven,  to  see  what  hands  the  church  has  fallen 
into,"  said  the  indignant  painter.

The  high  reputation  of  this  store  needs  no  comment ;  suffice  it 
to  say  that  the  present  season's  stock,  ordered  chiefly  in  Paris  for,; 
First" Class  Trade,  together  with  the  usual  manufactures  (for  which  j 
this  house  has  alwa}rs  stood  pre-eminent),  from  rich  and  recently 
imported  materials,  will  be  offered  during  the  season  at  such  ex- 
tremely Low  Rates  as  must  ensure  their  speedy  sale  and  afford  an 
opportunity  for  every  Lady  to  purchase  a  rich  and  beautiful  gar- 
ment at  the  price  of  ordinary  productions. 

The  present  season's  Importation  and  Manufacture,  comprising

fair  dealings  and  satisfaction  given  to  purchasers.    We  refer

A  Curious  Fact. — It  is  stated  (1848)  that  of  the  volumes  of  D'Aubtenc's 
History  of  the  Reformation  that  have  appeared,  from  150,000  to  200,000  are 
in  circulation  in  the  English  language,  into  which  they  have  been  translated,  j 
while  in  their  native  language,  the  French,  their  circulation  scarcely  exceeds 
4,000. 

Volumes  of  Title-Pages. — It  is  a  curious  circumstance  that  in  the  British 
Museum  are  now  to  be  found  nine  thick  volumes,  entirely  composed  of  title- 
passes,  the  collector  of  which  spoiled  thousands  of  volumes  to  obtain  them. 

Nothing  Like  Leather. — At  a  public  sale  of  books,  the  auctioneer  put 
up  Drew's  "Essay  on  Souls,1''  which  was  knocked  down  to  a  shoemaker,  who 
very  innocently,  but  to  the  great  amusement  of  the  crowded  room,  asked  the 
auctioneer  if  "  he  had  any  more  works  on  shoemaking  to  sell.,, 

Young's  Night  Thoughts. — "The  title  of  my  poem,  Night  Thoughts,11 
says  Dr.  Young,  "is  not  affected,  for  I  never  composo  but  at  night,  except 
sometimes  when  on  horseback." 

Promisf.8. — More  persons  have  suffered  and  been  ruined  by  making  prom- 
ises and  by  believing  in  those  who  made  them,  than  by  any  misfortune  or 
calamity  within  the  circle  of  human  life. 

Great  Faults. — It  belongs  only  to  great  men  to  have  great  faults.

Newtown.— A  thriving  and  pleasant  village,  situated  in  Queen's  conntv, 
about  eight  miles  from  the  City  Hall,  first  settled  by  the  English  in  1651.  It 
was  here  that  General  Howe  established  his  head-auartersfor  a  time  after 
the  battle  of  Long  Island,  and  in  a  house  yet  standing  he  wrote  an  account 
of  that  event  to  Lord  Dartmouth.  The  town  contains  a  seminary  for  boys, 
besides  several  good  schools.  Stages  leave  Williamsburgh,  at  the  Peck  Slip 
Ferry,  hourly,  for  Newtown,  fare  12  cents. 

True  Eloquence. — The  following  anecdote  is  told  of  an  individual  who 
listened  to  the  splendid  argument  of  Sheridan  against  Warren  Hastings.  At 
the  expiration  of  the  first  hour  he  said  to  a  friend,  "All  this  is  mere  declam- 
ation when  the  second  was  finished,  "This  is  a  wonderful  oration  V  at  the 
close  of  the  third,  "  Mr.  Hastings  haa  acted  very  unjustifiably ;"  at  the  fourth, 
"Mr.  Hastings  is  an  atrocious  criminal ;"  and  at  the  last,  "Of  all  monsters  of 
iniquity,  the  most  enormous  is  Warren  Hastings." 

Self-Opinion.— There  is  no  man  who  thinks  himself  in  any  of  his  qualities 
inferior  to  the  mau  he  esteems  the  most  in  the  world. 

We  should  have  very  little  pleasure  if  we  did  not  sometimes  flatter  our- 
selves. 

If  we  resist  our  passions,  it  is  more  from  weakness  than  from  our  strength.

L.  Mcintosh,  from  the  establishment  of  George  Brodie,  Canal 
street,  has  opened  that  elegant  store,  497  Broadway,  with  a  large 
and  new  stock  of  Mantillas,  Cloaks  and  Shawls,  in  all  the  fashion- 
able materials,  and  in  a  variety  of  new  French  and  other  styles  of 
surpassing  beauty. 

If  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  business  in  all  its  branches, 
taste  in  selecting,  and  ability  to  originate  new  and  recherche  de- 
signs in  this  class  of  garments,  constitute  a  claim  to  the  notice  and 
patronage  of  the  public,  the  advertiser  feels  confident  that  no  lady 
who  appreciates  chaste  elegance  in  her  dress,  combined  with  a 
prudent  economy,  will  regret  paying  a  visit  to  his  establishment 
before  purchasing  elsewhere. 

Strangers  visiting  New  York  are  particularly  invited  to  call  and 
examine  our  stock,  which  will  be  found  low  in  price  and  superior 
in  quality  and  style.  L.  McINTOSH.

Keeley,  the  Comedian,  arranged  with  his  green-grocer,  one  Berry,  to

laboring  under  the  impression  that  his  credit  was  doubted,  said,  "I  say, 
here's  a  pretty  mull,  Berry,  you  have  sent  in  your  bill,  Berry,  before  it  is

Who  was  driving  a  stout  little  donkey  : 
To  my  wife  then  I  spoke,  by  way  of  a  joke  : 

"  There's  a  relation  of  yours  in  that  carriage." 
To  which  she  replied,  as* the  donkey  she  espied  :

simple  question  :  Should  I  be  disposed  to  pay  the  cost  of  this  article,  at  the 
present  moment,  supposing  I  could  obtain  it  on  no  other  terms  ?  If  you 
decide  in  the  negative,  by  all  means  forego  its  possession  ;  for.this  test  ought 
to  have  satisfied  you  that  you  are  about  to  buy  that  of  which,  in  reality,  you 
have  no  need. 

Forgive,  to  be  Forgiven. — Of  him  that  hopes  to  be  forgiven,  it  is  indis- 
pensably required  that  he  forgive.  It  is  therefore  superfluous  to  urge  any 
other  motive.  On  this  great  duty  eternity  is  suspended  ;  and  to  him  that 
refuses  to  practice  it,  the  throne  of  mercy  is  inaccessible,  and  the  Saviour 
of  the  world  has  been  born  in  vain. — Johnson* 

Prov. — Here's  to  our  friends,  and  hang  the  rest  of  our  kindred. 

A  Man  advertising  for  "a  competent  person  to  undertake  the  sale  of  a 
patent  medicine,"  adds  that,  "  it  will  be  found  profitable  to  the  undertaker.'' 
—  Nodoubt  of  it. 

Prov. — The  danger  past  and  God  forgotten. 

Deceit. — There  is  no  man  but  is  afraid  of  being  deceived,  and  yet,  on  the 
least  opportunity,  endeavor  to  deceive  others. 

I'rov. — If  you  want  a  pretence  to  whip  a  dog,  it  is  enough  to  say  he  ate 
up  the  frying-pan.

Clearing-out  Sale  of  Fine  Millinery,  and  Millinery  Goods. 
In  consequence  of  the  great  increase  of  our  extensive  Mantilla 
and  Shawl  business,  and  our  inability  to  obtain  more  room  in  our 
present  premises,  we  have  determined  to  relinquish  our  Millinery 
and  Millinery  Goods  Departments,  and  devote  our  entire  Store  in 
future  to  Shawls,  Mantillas,  and  Cloaks. 

In  order  to  effect  early  and  rapid  sales,  we  have  marked  down 
our  entire  stock  of  Bonnets,  Flowers,  Feathers  and  Plumes, 
Blondes,  Laces,  Ribbons,  etc.,  to  less  than  one-half  the  original 
cost. 

Our  stock  consists  of  newly-imported  goods,  and  is  the  largest 
and  most  complete  in  the  United  States. 

We  would  direct  attention  to  our  magnificent  assortment  of 
Shawls  and  Mantillas — all  of  which,  for  this  special  occasion 
we  have  reduced  25  per  cent. 

Our  Shawl  Department  is  now  replete  with  all  the  prevailing 
novelties.  Finest  Stella  Shawls  selling  at  less  than  cost  of  im- 
portation. Many  useful  and  good  Shawls,  from  auction,  at  half  the 
prices  prevailing  earlier  in  the  Season.

Eockaway  Beacii,  in  the  town  of  Hempstead.  Long:  Island,  has  long  been 
a  favorite  and  fashionable  resort  during  the  summer  months,  on  account  of 
its  cool  and  invigorating  sea  breeze.  The  Marine  Pavillion  and  Rock  Hall 
are  two  splendid  "edifices.  Usual  route  is  by  the  Long  Island  railroad,  or  by 
steamer  from  Catherine  slip.  . 

What  commonly  prevents  us  from  exhibiting  the  bottom  of  our  hearts  to 
our  friends  is  not  so  much  any  distrust  we  have  of  thein  as  the  distrust  we 
have  of  ourselves. 

Ability.— It  is  a  great  ability  to  be  able  to  conceal  one's  ability. 

Curious  and  Beautiful  Incidents. — Over  the  pulpit,  in  the  chapel  at 
West  Point,  as  some  of  our  readers  may  perhaps  have  remarked,  stands  a 
fine  allegorical  picture  from  the  true-to-life  pencil  of  Weir.  A  part  of  it 
represents  Peace,  as  a  female  figure,  holding  an  olive  branch  in  her  hand. 
During  the  performance  of  divine  service  one  or  two  Sundays  ago.  a  smali 
bird  flew  into  the  church,  and  made  several  attempts  to  alight  on  the  branch. 
A  better  criticism  upon  the  fidelity  of  the  artist's  representation  of  air  and 
foliage  could  scarce  be  imagined.  The  same  compliment,  as  our  readers  will 
remember,  was  paid  by  a  bird  to  Apelles,  some  three  thousand  years  asro.

"As  polished  steel  receives  a  stain 

From  drops  at  random  flung, 
So  does  the  child,  when  words  profane 

Drop  from  a  parent's  tongue.

That  naught  which  we  can  do, 
To  cleanse  the  metal  or  the  mind, 
The  brightness  will  renew." 
"Wisdom. — "Here,  my  sagacious  friend,"  said  Louis,  "take  this  purse  of

wiser  than  another.1' — Quentin  Derward.

who,  not  yet  at  life's  meridian,  has  exhausted  it  and  himself;  who  thinks 
that  every  man  is  "green11  who  has  not  taken  his  diploma  "in  wickedness. 
For  whom  existence  is  as  weary  as  a  thrice-told  tale.  Who  has  crowded 
fourscore  years  into  twenty,  or  less ;  and  has  nothing  left  for  it  but  to  sneer 
at  the  healthy,  simple,  pure,  fresh  joys  which  may  never  come  again  to  his 
vitiated  palate. — Fanny  Fern.

small  paper  was  unfolded,  on  which  appeared  only  a  single  word,  "  iodine/

Noah  Webster  probably  got  more  for  his  Spelling-book  than  was  ever 
paid  for  any  other  book  in  the  United  States.  We  are  unable  to  state  the 
entire  sum  that  was  paid  him  lor  the  copyright  of  that  little  book,  but  think 
it  must  have  been  more  than  fifty  thousand  dollars.  His  large  Dictionary,  a 
work  on  which  he  spent  the  greatest  part  of  his  life,  never  yielded  him  the 
tenth  part  of  the  profits  of  his  Spelling-book. 

Johnson  and  Steele. — Johnson  used  to  bite  his  nails  to  the  quick — an 
intimation  of  his  dogmatism  and  crustiness.  Steele  constantly  preached 
economy  to  others,  but  forgot  to  practise  it  himself.  He  always  was  in  debt, 
and  once  pulled  the  nose  of  an  acquaintance  who  hesitated  "to  lend  him  a 
large  sum  of  money. 

William  Mason,  Esq.,  author  of  The  Spiritual  Treasury,  while  engaged  in 
that  work,  was  called  upon  by  a  gentleman  on  business.  Instead  of  taking 
his  name  and  address,  as  desired,  and  as  he  thought  he  had  done,  he  wrote 
the  chapter  and  verse  on  which  he  had  been  meditating;  and,  when  he  went 
afterward  to  look  at  the  paper,  in  order  to  wait  upon  the  gentleman,  he 
found  on  it  nothing  but  ''Acts  the  second,  verse  the  eighth,"  so  much  was 
his  mind  absorbed  in  divine  things.

•  "The  sort  of  men  whose  visages 

Do  cream  and  mantle  like  a  standing  pool, 
And  do  a  wilful  stillness  entertain, 
"With  purpose  to  be  dress'd  in  an  opinion 
Of  wisdom,  gravity,  profound  council; 
As  who  should  say,  1  am  Sir  Oracle, 

And  when  I  ope  my  lips  let  no  dog  bark.'"— Merchant  of  Venice. 

Love.— It  is  difficult  to  define  love.  All  that  we  can  sav  of  it  is,  that  in 
the  soul  it  is  a  passion  for  reigning;  in  minds  it  is  a  sympathy:  and  in  the 
body  it  is  nothing  but  a  latent  and  delicate  desire  to  possess  the  loved  ob- 
ject, after  a  good  deal  of  mastery. 

Self-Interest. — He  that  keeps  his  promise  only  to  his  own  advantage,  is 
scarce  more  bound  than  if  he  had  promised  nothing.  Every  promise  of 
interest  vanishes  as  soon  as  the  interest  ceases.  L

increased  by  from  $100,000  to  $200,000  worth  of  maple  molasses.  Kew  York 
produces  much  the  largest  quantity  of  any  of  the  States,  its  product  being

OIL,  COAL.

Of  all  the  joys  that  brighten  suffering  earth 

"What  joy  is  welcomed  like  a  new-born  child  ? 
What  life  so  wretched,  but  that,  at  its  birth, 

Some  heart  rejoiced — some  lip  in  gladness  smiled. — Jfrs.  Norton,

AMERICAN  COAL-OIL  COMPANY, 
42  John  Street,  X.  Y. 

Strangers  visiting  New  York  are  requested  to  examine  the  Coa*- 
Oil  offered  for  sale  by  us.  We  claim  a  superiority  over  any  Oil 
ever  before  presented  to  the  public. 

This  Oil  burns  with  a  short  chimney,  or  without  any  at  all,  does 
not  smoke,  gives  out  no  odor  in  burning,  is  under  no  circumstances 
explosive,  is  thoroughly  deodorized  (having  only  about  the  smell 
of  olive  oil),  and  a  given  quantity  of  the  Oil  will  burn  the  same 
sized  flame  at  least  one-half  longer  than  any  other  Oil  ever  before 
known. 

We  shall  have  constantly  on  hand  a  large  assortment  of  Lamps 
of  the  most  approved  patterns.  Our  Oil  being  of  a  different  na- 
ture and  much  more  durable  than  any  other,  requires  a  different 
burner,  which  we  shall  manufacture  and  sell  at  $3  25  per  doz. 

Even  without  a  chimney,  with  this  burner,  or  in  an  ordinary 
hand-lamp,  this  Oil  will  give  a  light  equal  to  the  best  sperm. 

X.  B.  The  great  objection  to  Coal-Oil  (the  intolerable  smell 
through  the  house)  is  entirely  done  away  with  by  burning  the 
American  Coal-Oil. 

Note. —  We  have  examined  the  above  oi\ and  it  certainly  is  the  best, 
cleanest,  and  cheapest o  I  before  the  pvJrtic.  Every  body  living 
where  there  is  no  gas,  should  7iave  thin  oil. — Editor. 


A  Silent  Printing-Office. — In  the  town  of  Z:\blacren,  "Wurtembnrg. 
there  has  lately  been  opened  a  new  printing  establishment,  by  M.  Theodore 
HMgerad.  All  the  compositors  and  pressmen  are  deaf  and*  dnmb,  to  the 
number  of  one  hundred  and  sixty.  Eleven  of  the  former  are  women. 
They  have  all  been  educated  at  Mr.  Helgerad's  own  cost,  to  the  employ- 
ment they  are  now  engaged  in.  The  King  has  conferred  on  him  a  large 
gold  medal  for  this  great  reclamation  from  the  social  and  moral  waste. 

Courage. — Have  the  courage  to  acknowledge  your  age  to  a  day,  and  to 
compare  it  with  the  average  life  of  man.  Have  the  courage  to  make  a  will, 
and,  what  is  more,  a  just  one.  Have  the  courage  to  speak  your  mind  when 
it  is  necessary  you  should  do  so.  and  to  hold  your  tongue  when  it  is  better 
that  you  should  be  silent.  Have  the  courage  to  set  down  every  penny  you 
spend,  and  add  it  up  weekly.  Have  the  courage  to  pass  the  bottle  without 
filling  your  own  glass,  and  to  laucrh  at  those  who  urge  you  to  the  contrary. 

Crepflity. — He  who  believes  that  a  man  can  think  himself  into  thought 
is  not  likely  to  doubt  the  old  story  that  ostriches  hatch  their  eggs  by  just 
looking  at  them. 

Honesty. — It  is  with  honesty  in  one  particular  as  with  wealth;  those 
that  have  the  thing  care  less  about  the  credit  of  it  than  those  that  have  it 
not.

CHICKERINGr  &  SONS' 
PIANO-FORTES, 

694  Broadway,  New  York. 
Messrs.  Chickering  &  Sons  have  been  awarded  38  Prize  Med- 
als for  the  superiority  of  their  manufacture,  exhibited  by  them  at  the 
different  Fairs  in  this  country  and  in  Europe  during  the  past  35  years. 

The  following  Testimonial  to  the  merits  of  the  Piano- Fortes  of  Chick- 
ering &  Sons  has  been  unhesitatingly  given  by  M.  Thalberg : — 

Mills  House,  Charleston,  S.  C,  Feb.  2,  1858. 
Messrs.  J.  Siegling  &  Son. 

G-entlemen — I  can  only  repeat  that  which  has  been  said  so  often 
by  others,  as  well  as  myself,  that  I  consider  the  Chickering  &  Sons' 
Pianos,  far  beyond  comparison,  the  best  I  have  ever  seen  in  Amer- 
ica; and  I  am  also  happy  to  add  that  they  are  quite  fortunate  in 
being  so  ably  represented  in  the  South  b}r  so  respectable  a  house  as 
that  of  J.  Siegling  &  Son.    Yours  respectfully,   S.  Thalberg. 

Pittsburg,  March  25,  1858. 
Mr.  Mellor — Dear  Sir — Since  my  arrival  in  America  I  have  con- 
stantly used  the  Pianos  of  Messrs.  Chickering  &  Sons,  and  I  can 
only  repeat  to  you  (while  thanking  you  for  the  Pianos  you  have 
so  kindly  furnished  for  my  concerts  here)  that  which  I  have  so 
often  said  before — the  instruments  are  the  best  I  have  seen  in  the 
United  States,  and  will  compare  favorably  with  any  I  have  ever 
known.    Yours,  very  truly,  S.  Thalberg.

Governor's  Island  is  situated  in  the  bay  nearest  the  Battery,  1,090  yards 
distant.  It  belongs  to  the  Federal  government,  and  contains  72  acres  of 
land.  It  is  a  beautiful  spot,  sloping  on  all  sides,  from  the  centre  to  the 
water.  Upon  its  central  summit  is  Fort  Columbus,  a  fortification  in  star 
form,  mounting  120  heavy  guns.  On  the  north-west  verge  of  the  island  is 
Castle  William,  a  circular' structure,  with  three  tiers  of  portholes,  and  well 

i  supplied  with  cannon.    It  is  60  feet  in  height,  and  600  feet  in  circumference. 

j  A  battery  on  the  south-west  part  commands  Buttermilk  Channel,  between 
the  island  and  the  Long  Island  shore.    The  fort  is  continually  garrisoned. 

I  The  island  can  be  visited  at  any  time,  by  employing  Whitehall  boatmen, 
always  in  waiting  at  the  foot  of  Whitehall  street.  Charge,  from  12  to  25  cents, 
according  to  the  time  spent  at  the  island.  Small  boats  are  perfectly  safe  in 
ordinary  weather. 

A  lazy  fellow  lying  down  on  the  grass  said,  "Oh,  how  I  do  wish  that  this 
was  called  work,  and  well  paid  for !" 

Some  stupid  says  that  44  if  a  fee  were  charged  to  see  the  sun  rise,  nine- 
tenths  of  the  world  would  be  up  in  the  morning.11 

The  current  coin  of  life  is  plain,  sound  sense.  We  drive  a  more  sub- 
stantial and  thriving  trade  with  that  than  with  aught  else.

unsurpassed. 

Suspended  iron  frame  and  patent  corrugated  sounding-board, 
giving  great  strength  and  durability. 

Seventeen  first  premiums,  gold  and  silver  medals,  diplomas,  etc., 
were  awarded  at  different  State,  Institute,  and  other  Fairs. 

Our  instruments  are  celebrated  for  remaining  in  tune  and  good 
order  for  a  great  length  of  time,  which  makes  them  especially  valu- 
able for  the  use  of  Schools  and  Academies. 

Our  Patent  Corrugated  Sounding-Board  has  been  pronounced 
the  great  improvement  of  the  age  in  Piano-Fortes,  and  has  proved 
itself  deserving  of  the  name — gaining  greatly  increased  vibrating 
surface  and  fulness  of  tone,  and  never  checking,  splitting,  or  warp- 
ing out  of  place,  even  in  the  most  changeable  climates. 

The  cases  are  made  for  solidity  and  strength,  combined  with 
beauty  of  outline,  which,  together  with  suspended  massive  iron 
frames,  make  them  very  durable.

Pursuit  of  Pleasure  — We  smile  at  the  ignorance  of  the  savage,  who

der of  this  description  is  made  by  every  person  who  is  over  eager  and  impa- 
tient in  the  pursuit  of  pleasure.  To  such,  the  present  moment  is  every 
thing,  and  the  future  is  nothing;  he  borrows,  therefore,  from  the  future,  at 
a  most  usurious  and  ruinous  interest;  and  the  consequence  is,  that  he  rinds 
the  tone  of  his  best  feelings  impaired,  his  self-respect  diminished,  his  health 
of  mind  and  body  destroyed,  and  life  reduced  to  its  very  dregs,  at  a  time 
when,  humanly  speaking,'  the  greater  portion  of  its  comforts  should  be  still 
before  him.

Laziness  is  a  premature  death.    To  be  in  no  action  is  not  to  live. 
Death. — We  feel  death  but  once.    He  who  fears  death,  dies  every  time  he 
thinks  of  it. 

Affection  discovers  sooner  what  one  is,  than  it  makes  known  what  one 
would  fain  appear  to  be. 

A  Miser  sixty  years  old  refuses  himself  necessaries  that  he  may  not  want 
them  when  he  is  a  hundred.  Almost  all  of  us  make  ourselves  unhappy  by 
too  much  forecast. 

Earl  of  Leicester. — One  of  the  best  bon-mois  ever  uttered  was  that  of 
the  late  Earl  of  Leicester,  who,  when  a  lubberly  farmer  entered  his  dining- 
room  and  accidentally  smashed  the  barometer,  exclaimed,  **  Well,  gentlemen, 
I  never  saw  the  mercury  so  low  before  in  any  weather.11 

Tooke  was  the  son  of  a  poulterer,  which  he  alluded  to  when  called  upon 
by  the  proud  stripling  of  Eton  to  describe  himself.  "  I  am,11  said  young 
Home,  "the  son  of  an  eminent  Turkey  merchant.1' 

If,  with  the  pains  we  endure  here  below,  we  were  immortal,  we  should 
be  the  most  miserable  of  all  beings.  It  is  sweet  and  pleasing  to  hope  we 
shall  not  live  always.

There  is  a  lust  in  man  no  charm  can  tame,

Staten  Island. — It  is  to  this  favorite  suburban  resort,  and  home  of  many 
of  our  city  merchants,  that  our  Bay  is  indebted  for  much  of  its  beauty.  It 
is  about  six  miles  south  of  the  city,  with  which  it  has  constant  connection  by 
steamboats.  The  island  is  fourteen  miles  Ion?,  and  from  four  to  eight  miles 
wide.  It  constitutes  the  county  of  Richmond,  and  forms  the  southern  ex- 
tremity of  the  State  of  New  York.  It  is  separated  from  New  Jersey  on  the 
west  by  Staten  Island  Sound.  Richmond  Hill,  at  the  north  end  of  the 
island;  commands  all  the  grand  scenes  which  might  be  expected  at  an  eleva- 
tion of  307  feet  .above  the  ocean.  Elegant  reside  nces  cluster  around  these 
heights;  and  from  the  summit,  a  marine  telegraph  overlooks  them  and  the 
sea.  I'pon  a  bluff,  on  the  east  side  of  the  island,  is  Prince's  Bay  lighthouse 
Reached  every  half  hour  from  Whitehall  ferry. 

pROv  —So  the  miracle  be  wrought,  what  matter  if  the  devil  did  it. 

Misers.— The  generality  of  misers  are  very  good  people;  they  do  not  cease 
to  amass  wealth  for  others  that  wish  their  death. 

Independence. — He  who  thinks  he  can  find  in  himself  the  means  of  doing 
without  others  is  much  mistaken;  but  he  who  thinks  that  others  cannot  do 
without  him  is  still  more  mistaken. 

Prov.— Often  drunk,  and  seldom  sober,  falls  like  the  leaves  in  October.

Honor. — The  generality  of  men  expose  themselves  in  battle  sufficiently  to 
save  their  honor;  but  few  are  on  all  occasions  willing  to  expose  themselves 
as  much  as  is  necessary  to  insure  success  to  the  enterprise  for  which  they 
expose  themselves. 

Friendship. — The  reason  we  are  so  changeable  in  our  friendship  is,  that 
it  is  difficult  to  know  the  qualities  of  the  heart,  while  it  is  easy  to  know  those 
of  the  head.

TVe  call  the  particular  attention  of  Stationers,  Booksellers. 
Printers  and  Binders,  to  the  largest  assortment  of  Papers  in 
every  branch  of  the  trade  to  be  found  in  the  United  States. 

Ruled  Paper  for  Bill-Heads. — For  some  time  past  our  atten- 
tion has  been  repeatedly  directed  to  the  rapid  increase  in  the 
demand  for  Ruled  Paper  for  printing  Bill-Heads,  and  under- 
standing the  difficulty  and  inconvenience  that  our  customers  are 
subjected  to  in  procuring  this  class  of  goods,  we  are  now,  by  the 
aid  of  our  Patent  Steam  Ruling  Machine,  with  Diamond-pointed 
Pens,  ruling  5.000  sheets  per  hour,  and  intend  to  keep  constantly 
on  hand  a  supply  to  furnish  our  customers  and  the  trade  generally

Ixdolexce. — Of  all  our  passions,  that  which  is  most  unknown  to  ourselves 
is  indolence.  Although  the  injuries  it  causes  are  very  imperceptible,  no 
other  passion  is  more  ardent  or  more  malignant.  If  we  consider  attentively 
its  influence,  we  shall  sec  that  on  every  occasion  it  renders  itself  master  of 
our  sentiments,  our  interests  and  our  pleasures.  It  is  the  remora  which 
arrests  the  course  of  the  largest  vessels,  a  calm  more  dangerous  to  the  most 
important  affairs  than  rocks  or  tempests.  The  repose  of  indolence  is  a  secret 
spell  of  the  mind  which  suspends  our  most  ardent  pursuits  and  our  firmest 
resolves. 

Pro?. — Moderate  riches  will  carry  you:  if  you  have  more,  you  must  carry 
them. 

When  Lord  Ebskixe  made  his  debut  at  the  bar.  his  agitation  almost; 
overcame  him,  and  he  was  just  going  to  sit  down.  *  At  that  moment,"  said 
he,  *■  I  thought  I  felt  my  little  children  tugging  at  my  gown,  and  the  idea 
roused  me  to  an  exertion  of  which  I  did  not  think  myself"  •apable.'" 

If  Vanity  does  not  entirely  overthrow  the  virtues,"  at  least  it  makes  them 
all  totter. 

"Womax. — There  are  few  wt>men  whose  merit  outlives  their  beauty. 
Prov. — Many  there  be  that  buy  nothing  with  their  money  but  repentance. 
Prov. — Sloth  makes  all  things"  difficult,  but  industry  all  things  easy.

The  Battery. — A  public  park  of  crescent-like  form,  at  the  southern 
extremity  of  this  city.    It  is  said  to  have  derived  its  name  from  the  fact  of 

I  having  been  the  site  of  the  battery  of  old  Fort  George:  it  had  been  pre- 

i  viously  fortified,  however,  by  the  jDntch.  A  large  number  of  noble  trees 
having  grown  up,  affording  a  grateful  shade,  in  connection  with  the  advan- 
tages the  location  possessed  for  the  enjoyment  of  sea-breezes,  induced  the 
city  authorities,  some  years  ago,  to  construct  a  substantial  seawall  round  the 
front,  lay  out  gravelled  walks,  enclose  the  grounds,  and  otherwise  beautifv 
the  place.    It  was  long  considered  the  most  delightful  spot  for  a  promenade 

•in  the  world;  but  in  consequence  of  the  work  of  enlargement  having  marred 
its  beauty  for  the  present,  on  one  hand,  and  the  appropriation  of  Castle  Gar- 

;  den  for  the  landing  of  emigrants,  on  the  other,  very  few  fashionable  proinen- 
aders  now  resort  to  the  Battery. 
Old  Fools  are  more  foolish  than  young  ones. 

The  Accents  of  a  man's  native  country  dwell  in  his  mind  and  in  his 
heart,  as  well  as  in  his  speech. 
Is  Love  we  often  doubt  what  we  most  believe. 

Severity  of  demeanor  in  women  is  a  species  of  decoration  and  paint  which 
they  add  to  their  beauty.

Frofessor  Porson  was  so  far  from  lending  an  ear  to  flattery  that  he  was 
averse  to  that  praise  which  was  justly  his  due.  An  author,  to  whom,  in  the 
most  obliging  manner,  he  had  given  some  literary  assistance,  said  to  him,  "I 
wish  to  make  you  a  public  acknowledgement  "in  the  next  edition  of  my 
work."  "  I  decline  your  offer,"  said  Porson;  "for  you  may  say  something 
in  compliment  to  me  that  we  may  both  be  ashamed  of  ten  years  hence."

term  of  Charles  II.,  no  mention  is  made  of  either  the  great  plague  or  the 
fire  in  London.  These  omissions  remind  us  of  a  similar  oversight  in  a 
geography  issued  by  one  of  the  publishing  societies — the  name  of  Switzer- 
land is  not  once  mentioned  !  yet  of  this  work  many  thousand  copies  were 
sold  before  the  detection  was  made.

S.  D.  Law,  having  had  many  years'  experience  in  obtaining 
Patents,  and  in  matters  connected  with  Patent  Rights,  con- 
tinues to  give  his  attention  to  securing  Patents  for  Inventions, 
etc.,  in  the  United  States,  and  in  all  Foreign  Countries.  Hav- 
ing resided  at  Washington,  and  having  a  reliable  correspondent  in 
that  city,  he  is  favorably  situated  to  secure  Patents  at  home ;  "and 
through  capable  and  experienced  agents  abroad,  he  insures  prompt 
and  Careful  attention  to  applications  for  Patents  in  all  foreign 
countries.    Foreign  Patents  obtained  at  less  than  the  usual  charges. 

Being  also  an  Attorney  at  Law,  and  a  Counsellor  in  the 
United  States  Courts,  he  is  prepared  to  prosecute  or  defend,  in  any 
of  the  Federal  Courts,  suits  and  proceedings  in  reference  to  Patents

The  Bowling  Green,  which  is  now  considered  to  apply  solely  to  the 
small  oval  enclosure  at  the  lower  or  south  end  of  Broadway,  is  said  to  have 
derived  its  name  from  the  fact  that  the  open  space  or  square  in  that  locality 
was  formerly  a  fine  Green,  used  as  a  bowling  alley  by  the  officers  of  the  gar- 
rison then  stationed  at  Fort  George.  The  iron  railing  was  erected  prior  to 
the  Revolution,  as  an  ornament  and  protection  to  an  equestrian  statue  of 
George  III.,  which  in  1776  was  pulled  down  by  the  patriots,  and  converted 
into  musket  balls.  The  place  of  the  statue  is  now  supplied  by  a  handsome 
white  marble  fountain,  at  the  expense  of  owners  of  the  surrounding  prop- 
erty. 

Great  wants  proceed  from  great  wealth,  and  make  riches  almost  equal  to 
poverty. 

Lord  Peterborough,  it  is  said,  could  dictate  letters  to  nine  amanuenses 
together.  He  walked  round  the  room,  and  told  each  in  his  turn  what  he 
was  to  write.  One,  perhaps,  was  a  letter  to  the  Emperor;  another  to  an 
old  friend;  a  third  to  a  mistress ;  a  fourth  to  a  statesman,  and  so  on ;  yet  he 
carried  so  many  and  so  different  connections  in  his  head  all  at  the  same 
time.

Caricature  of  Bobghese. — One  of  the  cleverest  caricatures  ever  issued 
in  Paris  during  Napoleon's  reign  was  levelled  at  the  Prince  Borghese,  the  ( 
husband  of  the  Emperors  sister,  Pauline.  The  Prince  was  a  good-natured, 
thick-headed  sort  of  personage,  possessed  an  immense  fortune,  and  greatly  ' 
devoted  to  the  pleasures  of  the  table.  The  caricaturist  placed  him  in  the 
centre  of  a  group  of  jackasses,  making  him  exclaim,  M  Where  can  one  be  I 
happier  than  in  the  bosom  of  his  own  family." 

Envy. — Other  vices,  compared  with  envy,  would  make  them  appear  vir- 
tuous; it  is  the  foul,  stagnant  pool  of  vice,  over  which  fitU  MaUct  presides. 
Envy  seduced  Eve,  blasted  every  flower  in  paradise,  slew  Abel,  murdered  ; 
Naboth,  and  crucified  our  Saviour. 

A  rich  man,  who  considers  himself  as  the  almoner  of  heaven,  is  a  bank  of 
benevolence,  in  which  every  distressed  son  and  daughter  of  Adam  is  a  stock- 
holder,  and  they  are  certain  that  their  drafts  will  receive  due  honor. 

Have  the  courage  to  "cut"  the  most  agreeable  acquaintance  you  pos- 
sees,  when  he  convinces  you  that  he  lacks  principle;  "a  friend  should  bear 
with  a  friend's  infirmities not  his  vices. 

Tuk  passions  of  youth  are  scarcely  more  opposed  to  safety  than  the  luke- 
warmness  of  age.

Hall  of  Records,  new  Court  House,  Rotunda,  etc.  At  the  south  end  of  the 
Park  there  is  a  delightful  fountain  in  a  marble  basin ;  and  a  neat  flower- 
garden  surrounds  that,  the  whole  enclosed  by  a  tasteful  iron  railing.  It  is 
the  largest  fountain  on  this  continent.  When  in  play,  it  is  one  of  the  most 
graceful  ornaments  of  the  city.  It  forms  a  basket,  arbor,  arches,  etc..  and 
sometimes  a  single  column,  which  rises  to  an  altitude  of  ninety  feet.  When 
the  flowers  are  in  full  bloom,  the  trees  covered  with  foliage,  the  fountain  in 
full  play,  and  the  swan  swimming  in  the  basin,  it  presents  a  cheerful  and 
exhilarating  sight.    Of  late  years  this  fountain  has  fallen  into  utter  neglect. 

Great  Depth  of  the  Ocean. — The  following  account  of  the  depth  at  which 
the  ocean  has  been  sounded  will  give  some  idea  of  the  vast  valleys  that  exist 
in  its  bed.  The  sounding  was  performed  in  the  Atlantic,  and  the  depth  at 
which  bottom  was  reached  was  7,706  fathoms,  or  15,412  yards,  being  over 
eight  mile*.  The  time  required  for  this  immense  length  of  line  to  run  out 
was  about  nine  hours  and  a  half!

CHAS.  B.  GRANNISS, 
BLAKE'S  PATENT  FIRE-PROOF  PAINT, 

205  Pearl  St.,  N.  Y. 

Blake's  Patent  Fire  and  Weather-Proof  Paint,  which  in  a  short 
time  after  being  applied  turns  to  a  perfect  slate  or  stone. 

This  Paint  has  been  extensively  used,  durihg  the  last  15  Years. 
for  covering  Poofs,  Fences,  Cars,  Iron-work,  Bridges,  Ships,  Car- 
riages, and  every  description  of  out-door  work,  and  in  no  instance 
has  it  failed  to  give  entire  satisfaction. 

The  tests  of  time  have  proved  this  Paint  to  be  the  cheapest  and 
most  durable  covering  in  use,  as  the  action  of  the  weather  only  in- 
durates and  renders  it  more  and  more  permanent. 

We  have  specimens  at  our  store  that  were  covered  with  the  Paine 
at  the  time  it  was  first  discovered,  and  notwithstanding  the  expo- 
sure to  which  they  have  been  subject,  the  covering  is  now  as  perfect 
as  it  was  when  first  applied. 

Cautiox. — There  are  quantities  of  worthless  trash  in  the  market, 
purporting  to  be  Blake's  Paint,  or  something  as  good,  and  many 
persons,  to  our  knowledge,  have  been  deceived  thereby.  Pur- 
chasers should  therefore  be  careful  that  they  obtain  the  genuine 
article.    For  sale  Dry  and  in  Oil,  at  the

Swift  and  Women. — He  played  with  women  as  a  cat  does  with  mice.  So 
that  they  were  kept  fast  bound  within  his  toils,  cut  off  from  all  the  better 
prospects  of  life,  sacrificed  as  victims  to  his  need  of  their  society,  he  cared 
nothing.  He  was  alarmed  and  agitated  almost  to  madness  by  tlje  fear  of 
losing  them;  yet  this  was  a  purely  selfish  feeling;  he  took  no  measures  to 
set  their  hearts  at  rest;  he  placed  them  in  such  circumstances  that  he  could 
not  do  it;  to  satisfy  one  he  must  immolate  another.  Some  of  the  finest  and 
most  charming  women  of  the  age  were  thus  kept,  as  it  were,  with  a  string 
round  their  hearts,  by  which  he  could  pluck  and  torture  them  at  pleasure, 
and  keep  them  walking  forever  over  the  burning  plowshares  of  agonizing  un- 
certainties, and  the  world's  oblique  glances.  There  is  nothing  which  can 
ever  reclaim  Swift's  memory,  in  this  respect,  from  the  most  thorough  con- 
tempt and  indignation  of  every  manly  mind. —  William  Ihnvitt. 

Day  vs.  Night. — A  fellow  found  guilty  of  burglarv,  before  Justice  Day,  in 
Ireland,  observed  that  his  fate  was  singular,  that  he  lost  by  Day  what  he  got 
by  night.

FAMILY  MEDICINE  DEPOT, 

13  and  15  Park  Row,  N.  Y. 

For  the  general  convenience  of  the  entire  country,  there  had  long: 
being  needed  at  this  point,  an  extensive,  full  and  general  Depot  of 
all  Family  Medicines. 

Being  in  constant  correspondence  with  every  principal  house  in 
the  country,  it  becomes  a  matter  of  necessity  for  proprietors  to 
pass  their  Goods  through  our  hands — and  one  of  convenience  and 
interest  for  the  trade  to  concentrate  their  wants  under  one  order. 
Our  stock  is  the  most  extensive  in  either  hemisphere,  consisting  of 
every  article  of  genuine  Pharmacy  prepared  throughout  the  world, 
which  we  are  at  all  times  prepared  to  sell  in  quantities,  from  a 
single  bottle  or  package  to  the  largest  amount  required  by  the 
first  jobbing  houses  in  the  country. 

Our  different  connections  afford  us  facilities  for  disposing  of 
more  goods — buying  in  larger  quantities,  and  selling  at  less  prices 
than  any  house  in  the  world.  Our  idea  of  doing  business  is,  that 
our  interests  lie  in  rendering  it  to  the  interest  of  the  trade  to  do 
business  with  us. 

Goods  carefully  packed  and  shipped  with  promptness  to  any  part  of 
the  world.

ornamented  with  shrubbery.    In  its  centre  is  a  very  beautiful  fountain. 

Louis  XI.  Borrowing  Books. — In  the  year  1474,  when  Louis  XI.  bor- 
rowed the  works  of  Pwhasis,  the  Arabian  physician,  from  the  faculty  of  medi- 
cine in  Paris,  he  not  only  deposited  in  pledge  a  considerable  quantity  of 
plate,  but  was  obliged  to  procure  a  nobleman  to  join  with  him  as  surety  in 
deed,  binding  himself  under  a  great  forfeiture  to  restore  it.  When  any  per- 
son made  a  present  of  a  book  to  a  church  or  a  monastery,  in  which  were  the 
only  libraries  during  several  ages,  it  was  deemed  a  donation  of  such  value, 
that  it  was  offered  on  the  altar  pro  remedia  anima  suae,  in  order  to  obtain 
forgiveness  for  his  sins. 

Faults. — If  we  had  no  faults  ourselves,  we  should  not  take  so  much  pleas- 
ure in  remarking  them  in  others 

Have  the  courage  to  laugh  at  your  personal  defects,  and  the  world  will  be 
deprived  of  that  pleasure,  by  being  reminded  of  their  own. 

Prov. — In  courtesy,  rather  pay  a  penny  too  much  than  too  little.

Contentment. — He  who  possesses  a  great  deal  is  not  the  most  happy;  it

DANDIES,  says  Carlisle — let  us  consider,  with  some  scientific  strictness, 
what  a  dandy  is.  A  dandy  is  a  clothes-wearing  man — a  man  whose  trade, 
office  and  existence  consist  in  the  wearing  of  clothes.  Every  faculty  of  his 
soul,  spirit,  purse  and  person  is  heroically  consecrated  to  this  one  object — 
the  wearing  of  clothes  wisely  and  well;  so  that,  as  others  dress  to  live,  he 
lives  to  dre&s.

A  tale  of  falsehood.    Life's  made  up  of  gloom ;

We  thank  you  for  the  kind  sympathy  expressed  for  our  losses,  and 
in  reply  to  your  inquiry  as  to  the  fate  of  the  Stearns  &  Marvin's 
Safe,  No.  5237,  sold  to  us  by  you,  we  have  to  say  that  it  contained 
our  Books,  Papers,  and  almost  Three  Hundred  Dollars  in  Bank 
Notes ;  nothing  was  injured  except  the  binding  of  one  or  two  of 
the  books,  although  the  Safe  was  exposed  to  the  intense  heat  of 
the  burning  houses,  and  remained  buried  beneath  the  ruins  for 
twenty-four  hours  before  they  had  sufficiently  cooled  to  enable  us 
to  remove  it.  Very  respectfully,  yours,  etc.,

Madison  Square,  beautifully  laid  out,  is  bounded  by  Fifth  and  Madison 
avenues,  and  Twenty-third  and  Twenty-sixth  streets.  It  has  been  laid  out 
in  walks,  and  planted  with  trees.  Around  it  elegant  mansions  have  been 
erected,  and  it  is  now  the  fashionable  quarter  of  the  town. 

False  Estimate  of  Publishers. — Cave  offered  half  the  booksellers  in 
London  the  property  of  the  Gentleman's  Magazine;  and,  as  they  all  refused 
to  engage  in  it,  he  was  obliged  to  publish  it  himself,  and  it  became  one  of  the 
most  popular  periodicals  in  the  world. 

Dr.  Buchan  offered  his  Domestic  Medicine  to  every  principal  bookseller 
of  Edinburgh  and  London  for  £100  without  obtaining  a  purchaser;  and, 
after  it  had  passed  through  twenty-five  editions,  it  was  sold  in  thirty- one 
shares  at  £50  each. 

■Beresford  offered  his  copyright  of  the  Miseries  of  Human  Life  to  a  book- 
seller for  £*$0.  It  was  rejected.  It  was  subsequently  published,  however, 
and  over  $5  000  were  realized  by  its  publication. 

Liberality. — What  is  called  liberality  is  most  often  only  the  vanity  of 
giving,  which  we  like  better  than  the  thing  we  give. 

True  Eloquence  consists  in  saying  all  that  is  necessary,  and  nothing  but 
what  is  necessary. 

Politeness  of  mind  consists  in  the  conception  of  honorable  and  delicate 
thoughts. 

Passions. — We  are  far  from  knowing  all  that  our  passions  make  us  do.

Imperial  Stables  of  France. — At  the  imperial  stables  of  France  may 
be  seen  no  fewe1  than  36*0  horses  of  the  finest  breeds.  There  are  275  car-

one  of  them,  which  England's  Queen 'rode  in  on  the  last  occasion,  should  it 
happen  to  be  used  on  a  wet  day,  would  cost  nearly  £1,000  to  regild  it. 

There  are  three  of  these  royal  stables  at  the  Tuilleries,  and  three  at  Ver- 
sailles. There  may  also  be  seen  at  the  Paris  stables  the  saddles  presented 
by  the  Pasha  of  Egypt  to  the  Emperor  and  Empress,  valued  at  £10,000 
each. 

There  are  260  men  employed  in  the  stables  all  the  year  round,  whose 
wages  alone  cost  £60,000,  apart  altogether  from  the  current  horse-tlesh 
expenses.

A.  B.  &  D.  Sands  call  especial  attention  to  Sands'  Sarsaparilla, 
tlie  great  American  Remedy  for  purifying  the  blood,  infinitely: 
superior  to  all  others,  pleasant  to  the  taste — composed  of  purely  ' 
vegetable  extracts,  and  may  be  taken  at  all  seasons,  with  perfect

for  regular  and  healthy  action,  and  without  nausea  or  purging, 
expel  all  deleterious  accumulations,  purify  the  blood,  equalize  the 
circulation,  promote  perspiration,  improve  the  appetite,  impart 
tone  and  vigor  to  the  system,  and  gradually  but  surely  extirpate 
the  disease,  causing  all  unsightly  excrescences  to  disappear,  and

Gratitude  is  like  the  good  faith  of  traders,  it  maintains  commerce;  and

more  readily  find  people  to  trust  us.

SCALES  AND  BALANCES. 


Youth  is  a  bubble  blown  up  with  breath

Whose  way  is  wilderness,  whose  inn  is  penance, 
And  stoop,  gallant  age,  the  host  of  grievance.— Spenser.

191  Broadway,  X.  Y. 

Howe's  Scales  demand  particular  attention,  from  parties  requir- 
ing and  desiring  Scales  which  are  accurate.  Our  improved  Scales 
require  no  pit,  possessing  six  points  of  improvement.  We  can 
give  hundreds  of  names  and  localities  easy  of  access,  where  our 
Scales  can  be  seen  and  tested,  and  Certificates  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  can  be  seen  at  our  store,  as  well  as  a  railroad  track  Scale, 
and  a  hay,  coal  and  cattle  Scale  set  up  on  the  floor ;  also,  reports 
of  committees  from 

Vermont  State  Fair,  Virginia  State  Fair, 

New  York  State  Fair,        United  States  Fair, 
Franklin  Institute  Fair,     Virginia  Agricult  l  Fair. 
First  class  premiums  were  taken  last  summer  in  each  of  the 
above  Fairs,  after  severe  tests  of  these  Scales. 

It  may  not  be  out  of  place  here  to  state  that  it  has  been  our  aim 
to  place  ourselves  in  competition  with  other  Scales  as  much  as 
possible.  We  spent  last  summer  in  visiting  a  few  of  the  Fairs, 
which  are  known  to  be  the  best  authority,  in  different  States,  thus 
to  test  the  superiority  of  our  Scales.  It  is  very  gratifying  here  to 
state  that  in  every  instance  where  we  have  exhibited  we  have  re- 
ceived the  first  class  premiums.    Every  Scale  warranted.

Reason  has  an  occasion  for  experience  ;  but  experience  is  useless  without 
reason. 

Sebastian  Boueden  painted  twelve  portraits  after  life,  as  large  as  nature,

Religion. — Nothing  but  religion  is  capable  of  changing  pain  into  pleasure. 

Politeness. — There  are  few  defects  in  our  nature  so  "glaring  as  not  to  be 
veiled  from  observation  by  politeness  and  good  breeding 

Memory. — The  reason  why  some  people  speak  so  much  is,  that  they  speak 
only  by  memory. 

Fountexelle,  being  asked  one  day,  by  a  lord  waiting  at  Versailles,  what 
%!ifference  there  was  between  a  woman  and  a  clock,  instantly  replied,  u  A 
clock  serves  to  point  out  the  hours,  and  a  woman  to  make  us  forget  them." 

Poor  and  Rich. — The  poor,  condemned  to  the  sweat  of  the  brow  and  to 
fatigue,  upbraid  nature  with  the  sloth  of  the  rich :  and  the  rich,  tormented 
by  passions,  or  devoured  by  disgust  and  irksomeness,  envy  the  innocent 
pleasure  of  the  poor.  None  here  below  find  themselves  happy,  but  in  the 
place  of  others.

Fairbanks  &  Co.  invite  the  attention  of  the  business  world  to 
the  superiority  of  their  Scales  over  every  other  description  of 
weighing  machines  now  in  use.  Their  plan  of  construction  is 
philosophical  and  simple.  The  employment  of  two  levers,  with  a 
single  beam,  is  the  most  simple  arrangement  practicable  in  a  com- 
pound Platform  Balance.  The  workmanship  is  perfect,  the  bear- 
ings are  broad  knife-edges,  placed  on  parallel  lines,  and  these  rest 
on  polished  steel  surfaces,  so  dressed  and  levelled  that  the  knife- 
edge  bearings  rest  equally  through  their  whole  length;  and  in 
every  point  skill  and  fidelity  have  obviated  all  tendency  to  derange- 
ment or  wear,  thus  securing  the  perfect  and  permanent  accuracy 
of  the  instrument. 

These  Scales  have  been  subjected  to  the  severest  tests  on  all  the 
principal  railroads  in  the  United  States  and  England,  and  in  every 
branch  of  business  throughout  the  world ;  and  their  uniform  accu- 
racy and  great  durability  have  gained  for  them  the  reputation  of 
being  the  Standard,  from  which  there  can  be  no  appeal. 

Adapted  to  every  branch  of  business  where  a  correct  and  dura- 
ble Scale  is  required.

Stuyvesant  Square,  which  nes  in  front  of  the  St.  George's  church,  is 
between  Fifteenth  and  Seventeenth  streets.  The  Second  avenue  passes 
through  its  centre,  making  it  in  fact  two  separate  squares.  In  the  portion 
directly  in  front  of  the  church  is  a  fountain.  The  square  is  tastefully  laid 
out,  and  planted  with  trees,  shrubbery,  and  flowering  herbs.  The  ground 
was  presented  to  the  corporation  by  the  late  Peter  G.  Stuyvesant. 

Luther's  Rule. — It  was  a  matter  of  astonishment  to  Europe  that  Luther, 
amid  all  his  travels  and  active  labors,  could  present  so  perfect  a  translation 
of  the  whole  Bible.  But  a  single  word  explains  it  all.  He  had  a  rigid  sys- 
tem of  doing  something  every  day  *'  Hulla  dies"  says  he,  in  answer  to  the 
question,  how  he  did  it  ?  "nulla  dies  sine  versus.'1''  (Not  a  day  without  a 
verse.)   And  this  soon  brought  him  to  the  close  of  his  Bible. 

Politeness  is  the  produce  of  nature's  soil,  it  was  never  taught,  never 
acquired  from  instruction — we  find  it  as  often  in  the  lowly  cottage  as  in  the 
most  magnificent  palace.  Lord  Chesterfield  would  have  been  Chesterfield,

Singing  by  Rule. — A  writer  in  the  JSrew  England  Chronicle,  in  1723. 
thus  observes:  "Truly  I  have  great  jealousy  that  if  we  once  begin  to  sing  by 
rule,  the  next  thing  will  be  to  may  by  rule,  and  preach  by  rule ;  and  then 
comes  poper  y. 

Man  is  only  weak  by  the  disproportion  there  is  between  what  he  ean  and 
what  he  is  willing  to  do.  The  only  way  he  has  to  increase  his  strength  is  to 
retrench  many  of  his  desires.  . 

Passion  often  makes  a  madman  of  the  cleverest  man,  and  renders  the 
greatest  fools  clever. 

Mr.  Fox. — This  celebrated  orator  was  one  day  told  by  a  lady,  whom  he 
visited,  that  she  "did  not  care  three  skips  of  a  louse  for  him."   He  imme- 
diately took  out  his  pencil,  and  wrote  the  following  lines : 
"  A  lady  has  told  me,  and  in  her  own  house, 
That  she  did  not  care  for  me  'three  skips  of  a  louse.' 
I  forgive  the  dear  creature  for  what  she  has  said, 
Since  women  will  talk  of  what  runs  in  their  head." 
Ticks. — The  vices  enter  into  the  composition  of  the  virtues,  as  poisons  into 
!  that  of  medicines.    Prudence  collects  and  arranges  them,  and  uses  them 
1  beneficially  against  the  ills  of  life.

of  it.  We  state  this  much  in  regard  to  this  excellent  machine, 
upon  our  own  responsibility." 

This  company  have  made  and  sold  during  the  last  three  months 
4,100  machines,  and  are  now  producing  and  selling  100  per  day. 
They  vary  in  price  from  $50  to  $100,  and  the  highest-priced  ones 
sell  best.  In  their  business  there  is  over  $500,000  invested,  and 
they  keep  400  men  regularly  employed  manufacturing  machines. 
The  system  pursued  is  the  same  as  that  adopted  in  the  manufacture 
of  arms,  every  piece  is  made  to  a  gauge,  and  consequently  the 
parts  of  any  machine  may  be  transposed  with  those  of  another 
machine  of  the  same  size ;  or  should  an  accident  occur,  the  broken 
part  can  be  immediately  replaced  on  application  at  the  office.

Tompkins  Square,  formerly  a  military  parade-ground,  is  on  the  eastern 
side  of  the  city,  and  is  bounded  by  avenues  A  and  B,  and  by  Sixth  and

shade-trees  are  not  yet  large.    Keached  by  Eighth  street  stages. 

Astonishing  Memory. — The  notorious  and  mysterious  Count  of  St.  Ger- 
main surpasses  all.  Any  newspaper  he  read  once  he  knew  by  memory,  and 
was  furnished  with  such  a  gigantic,  comprehensive  power  of  numbering  that 
he  retained  a  series  of  a  thousand  numbers,  which  he  could  recite  forward, 
backward,  and  pulled  out  from  the  middle.  From  the  court  of  Henry  III., 
in  Cracow,  he  demanded  one  hundred  packs  of  picket-cards,  mixed  them 
together  in  disorder,  let  him  tell  all  the  succession  of  the  cards,  ordered  it 
to  be  noticed  exactly,  and  repeated  their  following  one  after  the  other,  with- 
out being  wrong  once. 

He  played  almost  every  musical  instrument  in  the  world,  was  an  excel- 
lent painter,  and  imitated  any  hand-writing  in  the  most  illusive  manner. 
He  had  one  passion — playing  all  games  with  absolute  mastery.  In  chess 
no  mortal  has  vanquished  him,  in  faro  ho  could  break  every  bank  by  calcu- 
lation. 

Vice  is  the  alloy  thrown  off  the  coin  of  luxury  ;  thus  it  is  that  the  vicious 
have  alwavsa  desire  for  wealth.

LADD,  WEBSTER  &  CO.'S 
*    TIGHT-STITCH  SEWING-MACHINES, 

500  Broadway,  N.  T. 

Let  Manufacturers,  Planters,  Farmers,  Housekeepers,  make  sure 
they  secure  the  best,  by  examining  our  Sewing-Maehines  before 
purchasing. 

The  proprietor  of  Webster  &  Co.'s  Sewing-Ma  chines,  claims  for 
them  the  following  important  points,  and  affirms  that  money  is 
unwisely  invested  in  any  and  all  Sewing-Machines  which  fall 
short  of  this  standard : 

They  will  Stitch,  Hem,  Run  and  Gather. 

They  make  a  strong  lock-stitch  that  cannot  be  unravelled  or  pulled 
out. 

They  stitch  alike  on  Both  Sides  of  the  work  without  forming 
ridges  underneath. 

They  are  perfectly  Simple,  and  the  management  of  them  Easily 
Acquired.  , 

Any  Spool  of  Cotton,  Thread  or  Silk,  sold  at  the  stores,  may  be 
used  without  rewinding. 

They  are  almost  Noiseless  in  their  operations,  and  will  Wear 
Longer  than  any  other  Sewing  Machines  extant. 

Note. —  The  many  valuable  improvements  in  the  above  machine 
make  it  one  of  the  best  in  Vie  market.  Mr.  Ladd  will  at  all 
times  be  found  ready  to  show  its  fine  points. — Editor. 


Conscience  admonishes  as  a  friend  before  punishing  ns  as  a  judge. 

Aristotle  on  Learning. — Aristotle  was  asked  what  were  the  advantages 
of  learning.  He  replied,  "  It's  an  ornament  to  a  man  in  prosperity,  and  a 
refuge  to  him  in  adversity." 

Mithridate*  and  Cleopatra. — Mithridates,  king  of  Pontus,  knew  twen- 
ty-two languages,  and  spoke  them  correctly. 

And  Plutarch  says  that  Cleopatra  knew  almost  all  the  languages  spoken 
by  the  people  of  the  Levant. 

Literary  Brokeragf. — In  ancient  times  manuscripts  were  important 
articles  of  commerce;  they  were  excessively  scarce,  and  preserved  with  the 
utmost  care.  Usurers  themselves  considered  them  as  precious  objects  for 
pawn.  A  student  of  Pavia,  who  was  reduced  by  his  debaucheries,  raised  a 
new  fortune  by  leaving  in  pawn  a  manuscript  of  a  body  of  law.  And  a 
grammarian,  who  was  ruined  by  a  fire,  rebuilt  his  house  with  two  small 
volumes  of  Cicero. 

Admiration. — What  makes  us  like  new  acquaintances  is  not  so  much  any 
weariness  of  our  old  ones,  or  the  pleasure  of  change,  as  disgust  at  not  being 
sufficiently  admired  by  those  who  know  us  too  well,  and  the  hope  of  being 
more  so  by  those  who  do  not  know  so  much  of  us.

BARTHOLF  MANUFACTURING  CO.,

434  Broadway.  New  York. 

The  Bartholf  Manufacturing  Co.  call  the  attention  of  visitors 
to  New  York  to  their  Patent  Shuttle  Se wing-Machines,  for  which 
they  claim  a  superiority.  Our  prices  are  low,  and  we  shall  take 
pleasure  in  exhibiting  its  advantages.  You  are  referred  to  the 
following  testimonial,  which  is  one  of  a  thousand  which  we  are 
constantly  receiving. 

New  York,  Feb.  9th,  1859. 

To  Bartholf  Manufacturing  Co., 

GrENTS. — We  have  examined  the  merits  of  different  popular 
Sewing-Machines  in  use,  and  believe  Bartholf  s  to  be  superior  in 
the  beauty  of  stitch,  and  for  its  simplicity  and  durability.  Those 
of  our  hands  who  have  used  the  different  kinds,  speak  in  the 
highest  terms  of  its  superiority. 

Yours  truly, "HANDFORD  &  BROWNING, 
Wholesale  clothiers,

Receiving  Reservoir. — The  upper  or  receiving  reservoir  is  bounded  by 
79th  street  on  the  south,  86th  street  on  the  north,  Sixth  avenue  on  the  east, 
and  Seventh  avenue  on  the  west.  It  is  1,825  feet  long,  by  836  wide,  and  is 
divided  in  the  centre,  in  order  to  admit  of  either  section  being  repaired  or 
cleaned  out  without  interrupting  the  supply  of  water  to  the  city,  the  capacity 
of  each  division  being  estimated  at  75,<XK).000  gallons.  When  both  are  full, 
they  cover  an  area  of  about  thirty-five  acres.  By  Harlem  Railroad  to  York- 
ville  (S6th  st.  and  Fourth  a  v.),  3  miles;  thence*  5  minutes1  walk.  Fare,  12 
cents. 

Refining. — A  grand  disaster  often  has  the  effect  of  eliciting  that  which  is 
truly  valuable  out  of  a  man.  It  is  like  a  "fearful  conflagration,"  at  which 
tho  only  things  picked  out  of  the  ruins  are  the  solid  lumps  of  gold. — Punch. 

When  poor  Daniel  Button  died,  one  of  his  punning  customers  being  at  his 
funeral,  and  looking  on  the  grave,  cried  out — 

"This  is  a  more  lasting  button-hole  than  anv  made  by  a  tailor." 

Every  taste  may  be  corrupted  by  habit.  "Perhaps  a  man  may  get  so  ac- 
customed to  an  offensive  atmosphere,  that  he  will  stop  his  nose  in  passing  a 
garden  of  jessamines  and  violets. 

Happiness  grows  at  our  own  firesides,  and  is  not  to  be  picked  up  in 
strangers'  gardens.

GROVER  &  BAKER'S 
FAMILY  SEWING  MACHINE, 

495  Broadway,  N.  Y.  1 

The  Grover  &  Baker  Sewing  Machine  Co.  having  greatly  in- 
creased their  facilities  for  manufacturing  their  Celebrated  Family 
:  Machines,  with  all  the  recent  improvements,  have  reduced  their 
•  prices,  and  offer  for  sale  a  New  Style  Machine,  price  $50.  Hem- 
mers  $5  extra. 

It  is  no  longer  questioned  that  these  Machines  are  the  best  in 
use  for  family  sewing.  They  Hem,  Fell,  Gather  and  Stitch,  in  the 
most  superior  manner,  and  are  the  only  Machines  in  the  market 
that  are  so  well  and  simply  made,  that  they  may  be  sent  iuto  fam- 
ilies with  no  other  instructions  than  are  contained  in  a  circular 
which  accompanies  each  Machine,  and  from  which  a  Child  of  Ten 
Years  may  readily  learn  how  to  use  them,  and  keep  them  in  order. 
They  make  upwards  of  Fifteen  Hundred  Stitches  a  Minute,  and 
will  do  the  Sewing  of  a  family  cheaper  than  a  seamstress  can  do  it, 
even  if  she  works  at  the  rate  of  Ono  Cent  an  Hour. 

Is  there  a  husband,  father,  or  brother  in  the  United  States,  who 
will  permit  the  drudgery  of  hand-sewing  in  his  family,  when  a 
Grover  and  Baker  Machine  will  do  it  better,  more  expeditiously, 
and  cheaper  than  it  can  possibly  be  done  by  hand? 

Strangers  are  particularly  invited  to  examine  our  Machines.

Flower6  are  like  the  human  family:  they  often  look  beautiful,  but  have 
no  perfume;  the  plainest  arc  generally  the  best.  Those  that  grow  in  hot- 
beds are  usually  unhealthy,  and  wither  in  a  liberal  climate;  but  the  wild 
flower,  in  its  natural  state,  is  lovelier,  and  the  perfume  much  more  whole- 
some, than  all  the  exotic  plants  in  the  universe. 

Envy  is  a  shamefaced  rascal,  with  a  very  genteel  appearance,  continually

A  Stanza  for  Tobacco-Smokers. — An  old  maid,  who  has  more  reverence 
for  the  inspiration  she  draws  from  Helicon  than  that  imported  from  Havana, 
writes  in  the  following  style  of  the  patrons  of  the  weed: 
"May  never  lady  press  his  lips, 
His  proffered  love  returning, 
Who  makes  a  furnace  of  his  mouth. 
And  keeps  its  chimney  burning. 
May  each  true  woman  shun  his  sight, 

tor  fear  the  fumes  might  choke  her; 
And  none  but  those  who  smoke  themselves 
Have  kisses  for  a  smoker." 
Tite  world  more  often  rewards  the  appearances  of  merit  than  it  does 
merit  itself. 


SHADE  FIXTURES. 


197 


Did  gentlemen  of  fortune  die, 

And  leave  the  Church  a  good  round  sum; 
Lo  !  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye, 

The  parson  frank'd  their  souls  to  kingdom  come. — Dr.  Wolcott. 

Prov. — A  wise  man  "begins  in  the  end ;  a  fool  ends  in  the  beginning. 
J.  B.  BAILEY, 
BAILEY'S  PATENT  SHADE  FIXTURE, 

45  Beekman  St.,  N.  Y. 

Upholsterers  visiting  New  York  are  solicited  to  examine 
the  best  Shade  Fixture  ever  invented.  Any  person  with  a  jack- 
knife,  gimblet  and  screw-driver,  can  put  them  up  successfully. 
The  bauds  cannot  get  out  of  the  pully,  as  the  form  of  the  bracket  pre- 
vents it.  There  is  no  necessity  of  a  ratchet  to  strain  the  band  to 
hold  the  Shade,  as  the  spring  performs  that  duty ;  the  advantages 
of  this  arrangement  will  suggest  themselves  to  all.  There  is  no 
friction  and  no  machinery  to  get  out  of  order ;  the  band  being 
endless  is  always  accessible,  not  drawing  up  or  down  with  the 
Shade,  and  can  be  operated,  standing  in  any  direction  from  the 
window,  without  fear  of  accident.  Its  simplicity  and  the  impossi- 
bility of  its  getting  out  of  order  as  the  old  rack  and  pully,  will 
surely  drive  the  old-fashioned  fixture  out  of  use. 

With  the  improvements  I  have  made  in  this  Fixture — thus  en- 
tirely overcoming  all  objection  that  can  be  made  to  it — I  natter 
myself  that  Upholsterers  generally  throughout  the  country  will 
agree  with  me  that  this  Fixture  is  the  most  perfect  and  durable 
ever  made  for  the  purpose  of  rolling  and  unrolling  a  window  shade. 
I  intend  to  make  as  good  an  article  as  possible,  and  to  keep  the 
quality  up,  improving  it  rather  than  otherwise. 

J.  B.  BAILEY,

ne  plus  ultra  of  shade  fixtures. — Editor. 


Distributing  Reservoir. — The  lower,  or  distributing  reservoir  is  situated 
on  Murray  Hill,  and  bounded  by  Fifth  avenue  on  the  east,  Crystal  Palace  on 
the  west,  42d  street  on  the  north,  and  40th  street  on  the  south.  It  is  capable 
of  holding  20,000,000  gallons;  and  like  the  Receiving  Keservoir  is  divided  in 
the  centre,  so  as  to  admit  of  being  cleaned  or  repaired  without  causing  an 
interruption  to  the  supply  of  water  to  the  city.  The  top  of  this  embank- 
ment forms  a  fine  promenade,  and  from  which  one  of  the  best  views  of  the 
metropolis  and  its  suburbs  may  be  had.  It  is  easily  reached  by  the  Sixth 
avenue  railroad  and  several  stage  lines.    Open  after  one  o'clock. 

Franklin's  Own  Epitaph. — The  following  epitaph  was  written  by  him- 
self, many  years  previous  to  his  death  : 

"The  body  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  printer,  (like  the  cover  of  an  old  book, 
its  contents  torn  out  and  stript  of  its  lettering  and  gilding)  lies  here  food 
for  worms;  yet  the  work  itself  shall  not  be  lost,  for  it^vill  (as  he  believed) 
appear  once  more  in  a  new  and  more  beautiful  edition,  corrected  and 
amended  by  the  Author  ?" 

Absence  diminishes  moderate  passions  and  increases  greater  ones,  as  the 
wind  extinguishes  tapers  and  adds  fury  to  fire.

The  manufacturers  of  the  "  Crown  Skirts  "  beg  to  state  that  the 
very  great  favor  with  which  the  "  Indestructible  Skirt  "  has  been 
received,  has  made  it  necessary  for  them  to  make  unusual  exer-

Manufactory  night  and  day  for  this  purpose,  their  orders  requiring 
an  immense  increase  in  their  production,  in  addition  to  their  usual 
large  production  of  The  Piccolomini,  Etruscan  Lace,  Gossamer 
Expansion,  and  other  popular  styles.  To  effect  this,  their  con-

proof  of  the  universal  popularity  of  this  H  chef-daiuvre  "  of  Skirt

Union  Park  is  a  beautiful  oval  area,  at  the  head  of  Broadway,  hounded 
by  University  place  (which  is  called  a  continuation  of  Broadway,  at  the

Legal  "Wit. — James  Sullivan,  afterward  Governor  of  Massachusetts,  was 
opposed  to  Chief- Justice  Parsons  in  a  case,  and  there  was  some  little  war 
of  words,  in  which  my  father  for  that  time  got  the  better:  which,  by  the 
way,  did  not  always  happen,  for  Sullivan  was  an  able  man,  and  very  ready. 
Soon  after,  as  my  father  was  arguing  to  the  jury,  Mr.  Sullivan  espied  a  bit 
of  chalk  lying  on  the  table,  and  took  up  his  opponent's  broad-brimmed  black 
hat,  and  wrote  upon  it,  "This  is  the  hat  of  a  damned  rascal,"  and  laid  it 
down  again,  after  showing  it  to  the  bar.  There  was  some  smiling — perhaps 
audible  smiling — for  my  father  turned  round,  and,  as  his  eye  fell  on  the  hat, 
he  read  the  words.  He  instantly  stopped  in  his  argument,  and  turning  to 
the  court,  and  exhibiting  the  hat,  said:  "May  it  please  your  honor,  I  crave 
the  protection  of  the  court.  Brother  Sullivan  has  been  stealing  my  hat,  and 
writing  his  own  name  on  it."

"Washington  Squarf,  formerly  the  Potter's  Field,  is  one  of  the  largest  of 
the  older  public  grounds  of  the  city.  It  lies  in  front  of  the  New  York 
University,  and  is  bounded  by  Waverley  place,  McDougal,  Fourth,  and 
WjfXMter  streets.  It  contains  nine  and  three-quarters  acres,  is  handsomely 
laid  out,  and  shaded  by  thrifty  trees.  It  is  surrounded  by  a  wealthy  popula- 
tion, and  in  summer  is  much  resorted  to  as  a  place  for  promenading. 

A  Luxurious  Couch. — Beggars  swarm  in  China.  They  die  by  the  road- 
side, and  are  forgotten.  AtPekin,  there  is  a  large  house  called  "The  House 
of  the  Ifen's  Feathers ;"  here  the  floor  of  an  immense  hall  is  strewn  three 
feet  deep  with  feathers ;. and  into  this  wallowing  sea  of  down,  at  a  certain 
hour,  all  houseless  vagabonds  who  apply  for  shelter  are  turned.  At  a  beat  of 
the  tam-tam,  an  immense  tarpauling  counterpane  comes  down  unfurling 
from  the  ceiling,  and  spreads  over  them  all,  like  the  wings  of  a  fabulous  roc 
hatching  a  nest  full  of  eggs.  The  next  morning,  at  a  similar  beat,  it  is  again 
drawn  up,  and  the  vagabonds  disperse  to  show'their  sores,  and  collect  their 
alms. 

Protestations. — We  are  generally  more  prone  to  believe  the  one  whou,ses 
a  mild  tone  and  makes  few  protestations,  than  him  who  overwhelms  you  with 
a  multiplicity  of  words  and  loud  talking  ;  thus  it  is,  perhaps,the  reason  why 
we  say — ■  Siience  speaks  consent.11

Barrett's  Cats.— The  anecdote  of  the  two  cats,  which  has  been  told  of 
mnnv  learned  men,  originated  with  the  painter  Barrett.  His  only  pets  were 
a  cat,  and  a  kitten,  its  progeny.  A  friend,  seeing  two  boles  in  the  bottom  of 
his  door,  asked  him  for  what  purpose  he  made  them  there.  Barrett  said  it 
was  for  his  cats  to  go  in  and  out. 
"  Why,"  replied  his  friend,  would  not  one  do  for  both  ?"  • 
"Yon  sillv  man"  answered  the  doctor,  "how  could  the  big  cat  get  into 
the  little  hole  ?" 

"  But,"  said  his  friend,  "could  not  the  little  one  go  through  the  big  hole  ?" 
"Egad,  said  Barrett,  "so  she  could;  but  I  never  thought  of  that" 
Shame. — There  never  can  be  shame  where  there  is  no  sin.    Adam  and 
Eve  never  would  have  used  the  fig-leaf  had  they  remained  without  trans- 
gression. 

Narrowness  of  Mind  is  the  cause  of  obstinacy— wo  do  not  easily  believe 
what  is  beyond  our  sight. 
If  a  wise  man  never  erred  it  would  go  hard  with  a  fool. 
Prov.— If  you  arc  too  unfortunate,  nobody  will  know  you.

The  First  Almanac  in  England  was  printed  in  Oxford,  in  1673.  "There 
was *'  says  Wood,  u  near  thirty  thousand  of  them  printed,  besides  a  short 
almanac  for  two-pence,  that  was  printed  for  that  year;  and  because  of  the 
novelty  of  said  almanac,  and  its  title,  they  were  all  vended.  Its  sale  was 
so  great  that  the  Society  of  Booksellers  in  London  bought  off  the  copy  for 
the  future,  in  order  to  engross  the  profits  in  their  own  hands." 

Mkn  more  easily  set  bounds  to  their  gratitude  than  to  their  hopes  or 
their  desires. 

Ogilby,  the  translator  of  Homer  and  Virgil,  knew  little  of  Latin  and

Christians  —The  three  hundred  and  twenty  millions  of  Christians  are 
divided  as  follows :  Church  of  Rome.  170,00i>,000 ;  Greek  and  Eastern 
Churches,  60,000,000;  Protestants,  80,000,000.  816,000,000,  including  Pagans 
and  Mahommedans,  have  no  correct  knowledge  whatever  of  the  true  God. 

Example. — Nothing  is  so  contagious  as  example ;  and  we  never  do  any 
great  good  or  great  evil  which  does  not  produce  its  like.  We  imitate  good 
actions  from  emulation,  and  bad  ones  from  the  depravity  of  our  nature,

Bad  Company. — A  skunk  once  challenged  a  lion  to  a  single  combat.  Th9 
lion  promptly  declined  the  honor  of  such  a  meeting.  "How,"  said  the' 
skunk,  "  are  "you  afraid  ?"  Yery  much  so,"  quoth  the  lion,  "  for  you  would  ; 
only  gain  fame  by  having  the  honor  to  fight  a  lion,  while  every  one  who 
met  me  for  a  month  to  come  would  know  I  had  been  in  company  with  a 
skunk." 

A  Noble  Sentiment. — Teach  your  children  the  elements  of  Christian 
Philosophy,  the  Bjble,  lessons  of  Love,  and  Temperance,  and  Knowledge, 
and  Virtue,  and  Faith,  and  Hope,  and  Charity,  and  you  may  turn  them  out 
into  the  world  without  a  doubt  of  distrust  or  fear;" they  will  never  injure 
the  state. 

A  Kiss. — It  is  generally  considered  that  a  man  has  a  right  to  steal  a  kiss 
or  an  umbrella  whenever  he  has  a  chance — but  if  the  kiss  is  not  returned,  it 
is  the  lady's  fault,  and  if  the  umbrella  is  not  returned  it  is  the  gentleman's 
fault. 

A  man  very  much  intoxicated  was  sent  to  jail.  "Why  did  not  you  bail 
him  out?"  inquired  a  bystander  of  a  friend.  "Bail  him  out!"  exclaimed 
the  other;  "why,  you  could  not  pump  him  out." 

What  is  the  difference  between  a  blind  man  and  a  sailor  in  prison  ?  One 
cannot  see  to  go,  and  the  other  cannot  go  to  sea.

RADWAY'S  REMEDIES, 

23  John  Street,  N.  Y. 

R.  R.  R. — When  the  healthy  take  sides  with  the  disease,  God 
help  the  patient.  By  taking  sides  with  the  disease  we  mean 
I  breaking  down  the  little  strength  he  has,  and  thus  leaving  him  at 
\  the  mercy  of  the  malady.  Violent  purging,  calomelization,  over- 
i  whelming  opiates,  powerful  soporifics,  are  very  excellent  allies  of 
!  all  disorders.  Avoid  them.  For  the  excited  system  with  that 
wonderful  counter-irrkant,  Radway's  g.eady  Relief,  restore  the 
harmony  and  equability  of  the  circulation  with  Radway's  Regula- 
ting pills,  and  nature,  thus  reinforced,  will  conquer  the  complaint. 
This  is  the  true  course  in  all  inflammatory  and  febrile  disorders, 
while  for  constitutional  and  chronic  disorders,  Radway's  Resolvent 
is  the  grand  counter-blast. 

If  a  man  suffer  the  excruciating  tortures  of  neuralgia,  rheuma- 
tism, pains  and  aches  in  his  bones  or  joints,  or  become  crippled 
with  infirmities,  induced  by  long  sickness,  or  misguided  medication, 
it  is  his  own  fault,  for  it  is  well  known  to  every  intelligent  person 
'  that  Radway's  Ready  Relief  and  Radway's  Regulating  Pills  will 
positively  rid  him  of  these  disorders.  These  remedies  are  within

sale.

Greenwood  Cemetery  is  situated  about  four  miles  from  New  York 
south  of  Brooklyn.  It  covers  250  acres  of  land,  the  greater  portion  having 
been  brought  to  high  perfection  by  immense  labor  and  expenditure.  It  is 
advisable  to  take  carriages,  alwaysin  attendance,  which  will  insure  a  view 
of  its  beautiful  grounds,  magnificent  monuments  and  tombs.  It  would  be 
in  vain  to  attempt  a  description  of  this  hallowed  spot.  Its  deep  silence — 
respect  for  the  dead — the  heart's  beatings — the  thought,  "I  too  must  die" — 
cannot  be  described.  It  is  a  beautiful  drive,  the  course  Tying  on  the  shores 
of  our  beautiful  bay.  Strangers,  driving  from  the  city,  would  do  well  to 
obtain  permits  from  the  office — 53  Broadway.

A  young  lady  fresh  from  boarding-school  and  "very  accomplished,"  on 
returning  to  her  father's  house,  was  requested  by  the  "old  man  "  to  go  out 
and  help  milk  the  cows,  and  on  getting  into«the  yard  she  innocently  inquired 
M  Which  animal  gives  tlte  buttermilk  Vy 

"An  India-rubbkr  Ship  P  exclaimed  an  old  sailor,  who  had  been  listening 
to  a  description  of  such  a  proposed  invention :  "  that  would  never  do,  because 
it  would  rub  out  all  the  lines  of  latitude  and  longitude^  to  say  nothing  of 
the  equator  !"

Inez. — There  I  wove  for  her  love  ballads,  such  as  lover  only  weaves, 

Till  she  sighed  and  grieved,  as  only  mild  and  loving  maiden  grieves; 
And  to  hide  her  tears  she  stooped  to  glean  the  violets  from  the  leaves, 
As  of  old  sweet  Euth  went  gleaning  'mid  the  oriental  sheaves.

Ancient  and  Modern  Books. — Jerome  states  that  he  had  rained  him- 
self by  buying  a  copy  of  the  works  of  Origen.  The  Roman  dc  la  Hose  was 
sold  for  above  £30  :  and  they  usually  fetched  double  and  treble  their  weight 
in  gold.    They  sold  at  prices  varying  from  £10  to  £40  each,  in  1400. 

In  our  own  times,  the  value  of  some  volumes  is  very  great.  A  copy  of 
Melin's  Bible,  ornamented  by  Mr.  Tompkins,  has  been  declared  worth  live 
hundred  guineas.  A  yet  more  superb  copy  is  at  present  in  a  London  office 
for  £3,000. 

Frivolous  Curiosity  about  trifles,  laborious  attention  to  little  objects 
which  neither  require  nor  deserve  a  moment's  thought,  lower  a  man  who, 
from  thence,  is  thought  (and  not  unjustly)  incapable  of  greater  matters. 
Cardinal  de  Retz  very  sagaciously  marked  out  Cardinal  Chigi  for  a  little 
mind  from  the  moment  that  he  told  him  that  he  wrote  three  vears  with  the 
same  pen,  and  that  it  was  an  excellent  good  one  still  — Lord  C'testerfield. 

O'Connell. — On  returning  home  after  his  duel  with  young  O  Connell, 
Lord  Alvanley  gave  a  guinea  to  the  hackney-coachman  who  had  driven  him 
out  and  brought  him  buck.    The  man,  surprised  at  the  largeness  of  the  sum, 

said,  "My  lord,  I  only  took  you  to  — "My  friend,'1  interrupted  Lord 

Alvanley,  "the  guinea  is  for  bringing  meback — not  for  taking  me  out."

Inez. — Down  we  walked  beside  the  lakelet; — gazing  deep  into  her  eve, 
There  I  told  her  all  my  passion  !  with  a  sudden  blush  and  sigh* 
Turning  half  away,  with  look  askant,  she  only  made  reply, 
"  How  deep  within  the  water  glows  the  happy  evening  sky  !"

TRUSSES,  BANDAGES,  ETC., 

4  Ann  St.,  near  Broadway,  New  York. 

Ruptured  persons  and  parties  desiring  new  trusses  are  respect- 
fully called  to  my  new  Lever  Truss,  which  reverses  the  action  of  all 
the  Trusses  now  in  use.  The  direction  from  the  centre  toward  the 
sides  throws  the  pressure  upon  the  entire  canal,  and  by  the  action 
of  the  Lever  (instead  of  an  Ellipsis,)  the  inguinal  canal  is  closed 
upon  the  internal  opening  against  all  further  protrusion,  this  being 
the  only  principle  upon  which  Hernia  can  be  cured. 

The  Doctor  invites  all  persons  laboring  under  this  disease  to 
examine  his  instrument.  It  gives  ease,  comfort  and  security  to 
the  wearer,  and  perfects  a  cure  where  a  cure  can  be  effected  by 
any  Truss.  It  is  adjusted  and  applied  by  the  proprietor  at  the 
Truss  and  Bandage  Institute,  where  will  be  found  a  complete  as- 
sortment of  all  the  different  Trusses  now  in  use.  Also,  Elastic 
Stockings,  for  enlarged  veins;  Knee  Caps,  Shoulder  Braces,  for 
expanding  the  chest ;  Ladies1  Belts  and  Supporters,  Club-foot  and 
Spinal  Instruments,  Children's  Trusses  and  Instruments  for  all 
physical  deformities.  Persons  in  the  country  can  be  fitted  with  a 
good  Truss,  warranted  to  retain  their  rupture,  by  addressing  Dr. 
GLOVER,  No.  4  Ann  street,  under  the  Museum,  N.  Y. 

Note. — Strangers  visiting  the  city  xcill  find  Dr.  Glover  always  at 
his  rooms,  to  adjust  Trusses  and  serve  them. — Editor. 


Skilful  Fraud. — It  is  related  of  Cross,  an  English  painter,  who  was 
remarkable  for  his  talent  in  copying  correctly,  that,  being  employed  by 
King  Charles  I.  to  copy  some  of  the  works  of  the  best  Italian  masters,  and 
being  permitted  by  the  state  of  Venice  to  copy  a  famous  Madonna  of  Raphael, 
in  the  church  of  St.  Mark,  he  executed  his  commission  .so  happily  that  he 
brought  away  the  original,  and  left  the  copy  in  its  stead.  The  deception 
was  not  immediately  perceptible,  and  the  discovery  was  made  too  late  to 
regain  it;  for  although  several  messengers  pursued  him  expeditiously,  they 
were  all  disappointed. 

Coquetry  is  the  essential  characteristic  and  the  prevalent  humor  of 
women  ;  but  they  do  not  all  practise  it,  because  the  coquetry  of  some  is 
rest  rained  by  fear  or  by  reason. 

Few  Mew's  writings  outlive  their  authors.  They  are  read  with  haste, 
easily  forgotten,  and  consigned  to  "that  bourne  whence  no  essay  or  poem 
return*,"  to  glad  the  eyes  of  its  creator. 

Conceit,  more  than  knowledge,  influences  men  to  write. 

Praise. — Few  people  are  wise  enough  to  prefer  useful  reproof  to  treacher- 
ous praise*

Sunday. 


TRUNKS,  VALISES  AND  CARPET-BAGS. 


209 


Inez. — Then  I  asked  her  if  she  loved  me,  and  our  hands  met  each  in  each. 
And  the  dainty,  sighing  ripples  seemed  to  listen  up  the  reach ; 
While  thus  slowly,  with  a  hazel  wand,  she  wrote  along  the  beach, 
"Love,  like  the  sky,  lies  deepest,  ere  the  heart  is  stirred  to  speech." 


Prov. — Though  a  good  life  may  not  silence  calumny,  it  will  disarm  it.

TRUNKS,  VALISES  AND  CARPET-BAGS,

(Between  St.  Nicholas  and  Metropolitan  Hotel.) 

To  Travellers'  special  notice,  we  would  call  the  attention  of 
our  extensive  assortment  of  Trunks,  Valises.  Hat-Boxes  and 
Carpet-Bags,  which  we  feel  fully  justified  in  saying,  that  from  our 
long  experience  in  the  trade,  from  our  knowledge  of  the  public 
wants,  and  from  our  unsurpassed  facilities  for  manufacturing,  we 
are  now  enabled  to  offer  a  much  superior  article,  in  point  of  strength, 
style  and  durability,  to  any  ever  before  exhibited,  and  at  the  lowest 
cash  prices. 

Families  intending  to  reside  in  the  country  during  the  summer 
months,  those  preparing  to  make  the  "Tour  of  Europe,"  and  in

call  at  556  Broadway,  and  give  their  orders,  which  shall  be  attend- 
ed to  with  precision  and  punctuality. 

We  solicit  an  examination  of  our  goods ;  and  our  close  prox-

The  First  American  Tragedy. — The  first  tragedy  written  on  this  con- 
tinent was  from  the  pen  <ff  Benjamin  Coleman,  while  studying  in  Harvard 
College.  It  was  entitled  Gustavus  Vasa,  and  was  enacted  at  Harvard  at  a 
regular  commencement.  Coleman  studied  divinity  and  settled  at  Boston. 
He  was  eloquent  and  affectionate,  and  was  called  upon  to  pronounce  the 
eulogies  of  most  of  the  great  men  that  died  in  his  time.  His  published  ser- 
mons are  one  hundred  in  number;  and  from  these  the  materials  have  prin- 
cipally been  furnished  for  the  biographies  of  the  illustrious  men  of  the  "  old 
colonies,," 

Worth. — I  know  no  real  worth  but  that  tranquil  firmness  which  seeks 
dangers  by  duty,  and  braves  them  without  rashness. 

Women  often  fancy  themselves  in  love  even  when  they  are  not.  The 
occupation  of  an  intrigue,  the  emotion  of  mind  which  gallantry  produces, 
the  natural  leaning  to  the  pleasure  of  being  loved,  and  the  pain  of  refusing, 
persuades  them  that  they  feel  the  passion  of  love,  when  in  reality  they  feel 
nothing  but  coquetry. 

Gallus. — In  Cicero  on  Old  Age  we  find  Cato  admiring  Caius  Sulpitus 
Gallus,  who,  when  he  sat  down  to  write  in  the  morning,  was  surprised  by 
the  evening,  and  when  he  took  up  his  pen  in  the  evening,  was  surprised  by 
tho  nnncarance  of  the  morning.

We  have  vowed  to  love  each  other  in  the  golden  morning  land,

Cemetery  of  the  Evergreens. — The  grounds  enclosed  for  this  Cemetery 
comprise  212  acres,  a  part  of  which  lie  in  Kings  and  a  part  in  Queen's 
counties,  and  embrace  every  variety  of  surface  and  soil,  suitable  for  the 
purpose  intended,  beautifully  interspersed  with  hill  and  dale,  wood  and 
water,  forest  solitude  ami  open  lawns,  in  a  manner  to  convey  a  sense  of 
pleasure,  even  in  a  place  connected  with  such  solemn  associations.  The 
trustees  have  erected  a  substantial  stone  structure  of  Norman  architecture, 
forming  a  beautiful  gateway  at  the  entrance ;  and  on  Mount  Carmel  have 
reared  a  chaste  and  simple  edifice  for  a  chapel,  also  of  Norman  architecture, 
with  a  tower  eighty  feet  in  height.  Office  of  the  Cemetery,  304  Broadway, 
where  tickets  of  admission  are  obtained. 

To  reach  the  Cemetery  from  New  York,  proceed  by  Peck  Slip,  Grand  or 
Houston  street  ferries  to  Williamsburgh ;  thence  by  omnibus  to  the  principal 
entrance  of  the  grounds.    Ferriage,  3  cents;  stage,  6  ents. 

Nothing  is  impossible;  there  are  ways  which  lead  to  every  thing;  and  if 
we  had  sufficient  will  we  should  always  have  sufficient  means. 

Interest  brings  into  play  every  sort  of  virtue  and  of  vice. 

Honor  acquired  is  security  for  that  which  should  be  acquired.

Randolph's  "Wit. — Once,  after  the  celebrated  John  Randolph,  of  Roanoke, 
had  been  speaking  in  Congress,  several  members  rose  in  succession  and 
attacked  him.  His  reply  was  as  witty  as  it  was  prompt.  ''Sir/'  said  he  to 
the  speaker,  u  I  am  in  the  condition  of  old  Lear — 

 the  little  dogs  and  all, 

Tray,  Blanche  and  Sweetheart, 
See — they  bark  at  me." 

Insolent  Men. — The  man  who  is  insolent  and  overbearing  in  prosperity 
will  be  cringing  and  servile  in  adversity.  The  African  of  to-day,  who  crawls 
and  writhes  under  the  lash  of  his  lordly  master,  if  promoted  to  a  driver 
to-morrow,  will  be  the  most  intolerant,  cruel  and  insolent  of  tyrants. 

Ingratitude. — What  causes  such  miscalculations  in  the  amount  of  grati- 
tude which  men  expect  for  favors  they  have  done  is,  that  the  pride  of  the 
giver  and  that  of  the  receiver  can  never  agree  as  to  the  value  of  the  benefit. 

Praise, — There  are  reproaches  which  praise,  and  praises  which  convey 
satire.

Wren  and  the  London  Monument. — After  the  monument  of  London 
was  completed,  a  committee  was  formed  to  inspect  and  report  upon  it.  On 
ascending,  and  feeling  very  sensibly  the  rocking  motion,  they  became 
alarmed,  and  sent  immediately  for  Sir  Christopher  Wren,  the  architect,  to 
whom,  with  dismayed  looks,  they  communicated  the  intelligence ;  on  hear- 
ing which,  Sir  Christopher  exclaimed,  "Then,  gentlemen,  I  am  immor- 
talized !  for  whalyou  consider  a  cause  of  alarm  is  to  me  an  evidence  of  its 
durability.,, 

Love.— We  can  love  nothing,  except  with  reference  to  onrselves;  and  we 
are  merely  following  our  own  taste  and  pleasure  when  we  prefer  our  friends 
to  ourselves.  It  is,  nevertheless,  by  this  preference  alone  that  friendship 
can  be  true  and  perfect. 

Treachery.— Men  are  more  often  guilty  of  treachery  from  weakness  of 
character  than  from  any  settled  design  to  betray. 

The  Pomp  of  funerals  is  more  interesting  to  the  vanity  of  the  living  than 
to  the  memory  of  the  dead.

perfection  of  science,  for  their  graceful  beauty,  ease,  durability, 
and  fitting  to  a  charm,  giving  that  satisfaction  to  the  wearer 
unknown  to  those  who  suffer  from  the  shafts  of  ridicule  whilst 
adorned  (?)  in  the  efforts  of  ignorant  pretenders.  The  elite  and 
interested  are  invited  to  call  and  inspect  the  vast  superiority  and 
improvements  of  Batchelor's  Wigs  and  Toupees.  The  largest  and 
best  stock  in  the  xcorld. 

Batchelor  stands  alone  on  the  pinnacle  of  fame.  His  original 
Liquid  Hair-Dye  is  the  only  harmless  and  reliable  Dye  yet  dis- 
covered. No  blisters,  no  fits,  no  burning  off  the  hair,  which  results 
in  using  the  many  base  imitations.  The  genuine  is  endorsed  every- 
where as  the  best  in  the  world ;  applied  in  twelve  private  rooms 
at  all  times,  and  sold  wholesale  and  retail. 

BATCHELOR'S  Hair-Dye  and  Wig  Factory,

Note. — Every Xew-Torker  knows Batchelor,  and  so  should  every 
stranger  icho  desires  a  complete  wig.  He  will  be  found  always 
ready  to  serve  his  patrons  with,  promptness. — Editoil 


Coal. — A  coal-miner  in  Lancashire  has  made  the  following  calculation  : 
the  quantity  of  coal  raised  annually  in  Great  Britain  is  6$,0(>0,000  tons;  if 
this  were  excavated  from  a  mine  six  feet  high  and  twelve  feet  wide,  the 
excavation  would  be  5,12S  miles  1,090  yards  in  length.  Or,  if  formed  into 
a  solid  globe,  the  diameter  would  be  1.549  feet.  Or,  if  piled  into  a  square 
pyramid,  whose  base  was  50  acres,  the  height  would  be  3,356,914  feet. 

Smelling  vs.  Tasting. — "Is  the  sense  of  smelling  more  pleasing  than  the 
sense  of  tasting  ?"  was  the  question  up  before  a  Western  debating  society  in 
a  bar-room.  Uncle  Joe  was  the  last  to  speak  upon  the  negative,  and  all 
were  anxious  to  hear  him  deliver  himself.  Walking  up  to  the  barkeeper, 
he  called  for  a  hot  whiskey  punch,  and  drank  it  off  with  great  gusto :  then, 
turning  to  opponents,  he  handed  the  glass  to  his  leading  disputant,  and 
thundered  out,  l*Xow,  smell  it,  you  varmint"  It  is  needless  to  add  that 
Uncle  Joe  "brought  down  the  house,1' and  also  the  decision  for  the  nega- 
tive. 

The  Self-opinionated  man  is  like  a  bat  in  a  barrel,  for  it  makes  a  great  noise 
about  nothing,  and  is  continually  flying  round  and  round,  no  doubt  fancyintr 
that  because  it  can  find  no  farther  space,  it  has  explored  the  whole  earth. 

A  pretty  Simile. — Scandal,  like  the  Nile,  is  fed  by  innumerable  streams ; 
but  it  is  extremely  difficult  to  trace  it  to  its  source.

wood's  hair  restorative. 


O  !  for  a  tongue  to  curse  the  slave, 

Whose  treason,  like  a  deadly  blight, 
Comes  o'er  the  councils  of  the  brave, 
To  blast  them  in  their  hour  of  might ! — Moore.

HAIE  RESTORATIVE, 
444  Broadway,  X.  Y. 
More  to  he  admired  than  the  richest  diadem  ever  worn  by  kings  or 
emperors  !    What  t    Why,  a  beautiful  head  of  hair.    Because  it 
is  the  ornament  God  himself  provided,  for  all  our  race.  Reader, 
although  the  rose  may  bloom  ever  so  brightly  in  the  glowing 
cheek,  the  eye  be  ever  so  sparkling,  the  teeth  be  those  of  pearls, 
if  the  head  is  bereft  of  its  covering,  or  the  hair  be  snarled  and 
shrivelled,  harsh  and  dry,  or,  worse  still,  if  sprinkled  with  gray, 
nature  will  lose  more  than  half  her  charms.    Prof.  Wood's  Hair 
Restorative,  if  used  two  or  three  times  a  week,  will  restore  and 
permanently  secure  to  all  such  an  ornament.    Read  the  following, 
and  judge.    The  writer  of  the  testimonial  is  the  celebrated  Pianist, 
Thalberg  : 

New  York,  April  19,  1858. 
Dr.  Wood  ■ — Dear  Sir :  Permit  me  to  express  to  you  the  obli- 
gations I  am  under  for  the  entire  restoration  of  my  hair  to  its 
original  color ;  about  the  time  of  my  arrival  in  the  United  States 
it  was  rapidly  becoming  gray,  but  upon  the  application  of  your 
"  Hair  Restorative  "  it  soon  recovered  its  original  hue.  I  consider 
your  Restorative  as  a  very  wonderful  invention,  quite  efficacious 
as  well  as  agreeable.    I  am,  dear  sir,  yours  truly,    S.  Thalberg-.

Beer. — A  gentleman  calling  for  small  beer  at  another  gentleman's  table 
finding  it  very  bad,  gave  it  to  the  servant  again  without  drinking. 

"What,"  said  the  master  of  the  house,  "  do  you  not  like  the  beer  ?" 

" It  is  not  to  be  found  fault  with,''  answered  the  other;  "for  one  should 
never  speak  ill  of  the  dead." 

Jerrold  said  to  an  ardent  young  gentleman,  who  burned  to  see  himself 
1  in  print,  "J5e  advised  by  me,  young  man;  don't  take  down  the  shutters 
before  there  is  something  in  the  window." 

The  rain  we  shake  from  our  feet  may  be  metamorphosed  into  a  mulberry 
leaf,  and  ultimately  revisit  them  in  the  form  of  silk  stockings. 

When  all  is  done,  human  life  is,  at  the  greatest  and  best,  but  like  a  froward 
J  child,  that  must  be  played  with  and  humored  a  little  to  keep  it  quiet  till  it 
falls  asleep — and  then  the  care  is  over. 

It  is  generally  observed  that  persons  of  about  forty  years,  especially 
young  ladies  of  that  age,  are  very  forgetful  of  those  with  whom  they  were 
acquainted  in  childhood.  This  remarkable  dimness  of  memory  has  been 
appropriately  styled — 

"  The  darkness  of  the  middle  ages." 

Integrity  without  knowledge  is  weak  and  useless;  knowledge  without 
integrity  is  dangerous  and  dreadful.
